About French Market
French Market is a collection of markets and retail spaces managed by French Market Corporation, a public-benefit corporation that stewards property for the city. The district spans several blocks of the French Quarter, from the Jackson Square area to the flea market near Barracks and North Peters. The open-air sections can be browsed without an admission ticket, while nearby shops, restaurants, and pavilions form part of a broader commercial area.
The operator describes vendors selling antiques, clothing, art, jewelry, candles, and crafts, alongside a Farmers Market section with food products and food businesses. The mix is not fixed: stalls and goods depend on each merchant and the day’s activity. Official information separates flea-market, farmers-market, and retail-shop hours; individual shops may adjust their schedules. Visitors seeking a particular product should confirm the business rather than assume the district-wide hours cover every offering.
The published office address is 1008 N Peters St, and the general phone number is 504-636-6400. The Riverfront streetcar and RTA bus routes serve the area; nearby parking lots charge fees. Google reviews tied to the site often describe it as a convenient stop for souvenirs, clothing, art, and food during a French Quarter outing. They also reflect the neighborhood’s foot traffic, especially at busy times. A district map helps visitors distinguish the market-stall area from the shops and restaurants along the route.
Antiques, clothing, art, jewelry, candles, crafts, specialty foods, and food stalls; selection varies by seller.
