Best for fun shopping

By matsmom, 8/27/05

The French Market is like an Arts and Crafts Fair, Souvenier Shop, and Farmers Market all rolled into one big shopping experience. You can buy fresh produce and food with a cajun flavor, get all the fixin's to make your own food, and just sample some of the area's cuisine. You can buy gaudy, standard souveniers to take back to the kids or buy handmade items to display in your home made by skilled artisans. The French Market is also a great place to do some serious people watching. Bourbon Street may be the place to be at night in New Orleans, but the French Market is the place to go during the day. Don't miss it!

A Must see in New Orleans

By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/18/04

Full of exotic, inexpensive trinkets and New Orleans items . Don't expect to find any great 14kt classy things . This market is fun stuff that is meant to be just that....fun. Talk to the vendors. They are friendly, fascinating people. The items you see are unique....and sometimes even bizarre....but it is worth a trip thru it just to people watch!
