For a sophisticated Parisian experience, spend the morning shopping (or looking) at the Marché Raspail, situated between rue du Cherche Midi and rue de Rennes. There is a traditional market on Tuesday and Friday mornings. If you're into organic food, go to the Sunday morning market where you'll find all kinds of organic produce and other foods. Buy your sandwich material at the market, but wait till you get to the famous Poilâne bakery, 8, rue du Cherche Midi, for the highest quality breads (and butter cookies) in Paris.
