• French Quarter : SIGHTS AND ATTRACTIONS: LOWER FRENCH QUARTER AND FAUBOURG MARIGNY
  French Market
  Originally an Indian trading post, later a bustling open-air market under the French and Spanish, the French Market now contains shops, offices, and eating places. This complex of renovated buildings, which extends several blocks along Decatur and North Peters streets, has always figured strongly in the life of the city. You'll enjoy exploring them not only from the street but also from the flagstone areas alongside and behind the buildings. On weekends there are usually street performers and musicians enlivening the outdoor areas of the market.
  Although the Farmer's Market section of the French Market blends in well with the ensemble, the two open-air sheds that comprise it and the Community Flea Market were built more recently, in 1936 as part of a Works Progress Administration project. Since then farmers from the New Orleans area have pulled their trucks up to the loading bays here and offered their produce for sale. If you arrive very early in the morning, you are likely to see some of the better-known chefs in the city culling through the baskets and cartons of fresh fruits, vegetables, seafood, and seasonings and ordering for their restaurants.
  Latrobe Park, a small recreational area within the French Market, honours Benjamin Latrobe, designer of the city's first waterworks. A modern statue in the park evoking the machinery used in the waterworks marks the spot where Latrobe's invention once stood. Sunken seating, fountains, and greenery make this a lovely spot to relax with a drink served from a kiosk nearby
