The Entertainment Quarter

Looking for a wholesome weekend activity that immerses you in French culture without the hefty plane fare? Oui, oui!  Well, put on your best beret and hop on over to Le Marché – French Markets at the Entertainment Quarter in the heart of Sydney. Spend a leisurely Sunday morning walking through more than 45 market stalls of French delights. From choux buns and Champagne to colourful berets and escargot, there is an abundance of French items to satisfy even the fussiest shopper. Très bien! Stock up your pantry at Le Marché’s culinary corner, a pocket of the market that you might liken to a French supermarket. Fill your baskets and mouths with farm-fresh eggs, truffles, baked treats, duck confit and, of course, all the French cheese your heart desires. Practise your high school French (which you’ve probably forgotten, except for 'bonjour') on the friendly artisans selling striped Breton t-shirts, colourful berets, linen tablecloths, straw baskets and more. Now we don’t know about you, but devouring croissants, macarons and boeuf bourguignon sounds like heaven to us. At the Entertainment Quarter, you can celebrate all things French at these fabulous markets.  Explore Le Marché – French Markets on the first Sunday of every month at the Entertainment Quarter.
