Marché aux Fleurs

Marché aux Fleurs

Rain or shine, the Sunday market

does not disappoint with an array of flowers and containers,

plus the birds, rabbits, and chickens!

Flower Market

The flower market on Ile de la Cité 

has attracted both avid gardeners

and curious passersby since 1830.

Located near Notre Dame in 

Place Louis Lépine, 

it is worth strolling through.

Flowers or herbs,

gardening tools and baskets,

trees and ornamentals.

On Sundays it becomes a flower and 

a bird market (le Marché aux Oiseaux)

You may also find rabbits and designer chickens!

Marché aux Fleurs et aux Oiseaux

The Flower Market

(and sometimes a bird market)

The Flower Market is open daily 

but they only bring out the birds on Sunday.

As you can see from this rainy day photo, 

the birds had all flown away (kidding).

People come from all over Paris and surrounding areas to buy

all imaginable types of birds from canaries and finches 

to roosters and chickens.

On Sundays the Marché aux Fleurs becomes the Marché aux Oiseaux (Bird Market) 

with a chatty selection of birds, from the ordinary to the rare.   You may find hens, chickens, roosters, rabbits, fish, Guinea pigs.  

If you are looking for color, the birds will oblige your request.

Les herbes et les fleurs de printemps

An abundance of healthy herbs and plants available in every market...

Herbs and flowers on my Paris terrace to go with the lantern...

Now, just to find a cafe table and chairs...

Les lanternes

In the Marché aux Fleurs I found this collection of lanterns

suspended from the greenhouse roof. 

I dreamed that I had the two in front for large candles on my Paris terrace. 

Un aperitif?
