The Old French Market has been part of New Orleans for more than 250 years. Souvenir stalls now fill much of the space, but the market still has produce vendors and, on weekends, a broader spread of crafts and flea-market goods.
It works best as part of a French Quarter walk rather than as a standalone shopping trip. Come for the history, the bustle, and the easy link between Jackson Square, Decatur Street, and the riverfront.
