For
centuries, markets - in which individual vendors sell food, clothing, books
and flowers-have been a central feature of European life.
In
Paris, public markets are synonymous with French culture and style, as
expressed through fresh food and drink, flowers, clothing, arts and crafts
and jewelry sold by local vendors in open air.
In
fact, markets are so vital to the culture and economy of France, that
almost all markets are municipally owned or authorized.
In
1953, Rolland Bensidoun , like his father and grandfather before him,
began managing open-air markets in and around Paris.
Over
the past 45 years, Rolland Bensidoun expanded his operations, introducing
his sons, Pascal and Sebastien to the business.
The
Bensidouns has contracted for the operation of over 60 markets throughout
the Paris metropolitan area and northern France.
The
Bensidouns also manages indoor and outdoor parking, with approximately
1200 parking spaces.
