New Orleans Shopping

French Market Review

Vendors have been selling their wares on this spot since 1791, making it one of the oldest public marketplaces in the country. Today, the market includes a large flea market, small produce stands, and retail shops. For the daily flea market, dozens of vendors set up tables inside and outside the covered pavillion, selling jewelry, handbags, T-shirts, and curios as well as vintage and used items, clothing, and collectibles. The market generally is open daily from about 7 to 7, but hours can vary depending on the weather.
