In the Municipal Bulletin

The market appears in the municipal bulletin as early as the end of the 19th century through its management: in December 1897, the lease fee for the Marché Beauvau-Saint-Antoine was brought down from 74,000 to 72,300 francs. In 1907, merchants from the rue d'Aligre sent the Council, through Armand Grébauval, a petition asking for the market to be maintained. In December 1932, the bulletin announced a celebration held from 2 to 4 December in the Quinze-Vingts neighborhood to commemorate the centenary of the Marché d'Aligre-Beauvau-Saint-Antoine. The archive picks up the place again in 1977, when several councillors put a question to the Mayor of Paris on access to the garages at 6, 8, and 10 rue d'Aligre during market hours. The bulletin thus captures the market only in scattered glimpses — lease fee, defense by its merchants, celebration, neighborhood relations — but spread over eighty years.
