The Aligre market, in the 12th arrondissement, is made up of two markets: the covered market, whose name is Beauvau market, in the western half of the place d'Aligre, and the open market, along the rue d'Aligre and on the eastern half of the square. Its name refers to Étienne François d'Aligre (1727-1798), who was first president of the Parliament of Paris when the market was built.
