French Market is one of those must sees while in New Orleans however I wasn't blown away by it. There are some good food and drink vendors as you enter the one side. There are also some interesting arts/crafts vendors with actual handmade items. However, there are quite a few vendors with cheap products made in China. Kinda disappointing those... More

Very cute market. Loved it. Lots of items for sale many were the same from stall to stall, but it was relaxing and a good place to look for souvenirs.

We found out that the French Market is a great place to eat breakfast or lunch (not sure about dinner). My wife and I went on Saturday for lunch, and there were many choices, all reasonably priced. We ended up eating at the very last food place right before the vendors start. They have a large sign that says "crawfish... More

Nice place to visit. The outdoor cafes and live music make for a relaxing afternoon or break between shopping. Garb a bite to eat, a cold local beef and listen to the music.

Please don't miss this. It is a terrific, very large bazaar with open sides and a high roof. Great bargains -- I got two leather wallets, one for $5 and one for $8. It's very nice to get a beer and stroll with it as your wife slowly shops (and she got a beer too!). Good jazz bands started playing... More

We had a great time browsing the French Market. Lots of oddball items to look over. Most vendors willing to negotiate price. If you like flea markets and like to haggle this is the place for you. Some items you see in stores can be purchased here for half price.

Very clean and organized; bathrooms and food vendors available. A typical flea market but with no old trash. Everything is new. Limited parking available, better off taking the riverfront streetcar there for $1.25

We went to the Big easy on a saturday strolled bourbon street and wound up at the french market. It was time well spent. We picked up some trinkets, t=shirts and had lunch there. As the location backs up to the ocean we did a leisurely stroll along the sidewalk next to the ocean back to the car. On the... More

I enjoyed my trip to the French Market. Lots of vendors with lots of interesting things. I liked that some of them offered hand made items. I also liked the range of products that were offered.

The French Market really is an fun and interesting place to visit while you're in New Orleans. there is a large flea market type atmospere amongst places to eat great local food and drinks. There is always entertainment similar to Bourbon Street; but more family oriented. One of the best things of course is that there is no admission fee,... More
