Why you should go…

The French Market runs for six blocks along the river side of the French Quarter, from Cafe du Monde down to the flea market stalls across from the old New Orleans Mint. Part of the site has been a market since 1791. You can browse the shops of the Upper Pontalba and the Colonnade, the Craft Bazaar and the daily flea market, then eat at the farmers market eateries. Free music events are often held here, and it costs nothing to wander.
