The Santa Monica Farmers' Market is the best market in the country for showcasing farmers and produce. It's also one of the busiest. However, outdoor food markets in the US are nothing compared to Paris' vast district markets. Ex-pat and Paris-based pastry chef David Lebovitz gives producer Thea Chaloner a Place de la Bastille market tour in the City of Lights. David spoke with a vendor about his favorite salt, fleur de sel de Guerande. To find out more about this salt, visit Sel de Guerande.

His latest cookbook, The Perfect Scoop, details tasty frozen dessert recipes. To read more about David's sweet life in Paris, visit his blog.
