I made a couple of trips to the French Market during my stay in NO. Combo flea market/farmers market, loved roaming up and down the aisles. Made several purchases and felt like I got good bargains. Many of the vendors were willing to haggle on price if that is your thing. More

Lots of local artists, but some of them seemed like they were selling trinkets made out of the states - so be aware of authenticity.
