On Ile de la Cité, in between Hôtel Dieu (see previous post), Notre Dame (see previous posts), the Palais de la Justice (see previous post) with the Sainte Chapelle (see previous post) you can find a Flower Market (Marché des Fleurs) which has been there since 1808.
One can of course find a lot of flowers and garden equipment / decoration. On Sundays, there is a “bird market”. I must go back!

Adorable! I am glad you always find places like this to share with us! Can't wait to see what you are going to find at the bird's market!
You must be taking a long weekend to smell the roses....
Love that photo of all the hydrangeas - they are one of my favorite flowers.
Wow! That's an awesome flower market!
luscious!
Hydrangeas (and bluebells) are my favorite flower. I had no idea that was there. Must check it out next time I'm there..
un endroit de reve dans Paris, j'aimais bien faire un tour quand je travaillais sur Paris, tot le matin.
Bonjour peter,
Ta balade au marché aux fleurs me donne envie...
Je vois aussi que tu commences à devenir célèbre sur les murs de la capitale.
Bises et bonne journée !

Beautiful Hydrangeas and Fushias.
Looks like a wonderful way to spend a day walking through the flower markets.
Have a wonderful time what ever you may do.

Bonjour! Hej!
I love that kind of places - full of stuff, green and fresh...lots of colours...

Good to be back and study more.
Have a great day!

I visit, but I never purchase.
Let's hope that superstores specialised on greenery won't make disapear this little market with so much charm.

I deleted the weekend wishes. They fit better on a Friday. :-)
How charming - I love the way Parisians buy big bunches of flowers I guess they look so elegant inside the're beautiful appartments. Can't wait to see the bird market pics.

It was about a year ago this week that I landed in Paris, and my first visit, my first day, was to Notre Dame and to the Marche aux Fleurs. It was in my regular "path" and I passed by often, always with a smile, a stop to sniff a lovely bloom or take a photo. (I did those seed packets, too. Just loved the graphics!)
As always when I visit, your posts bring back splendid memories, but perhaps no more so than this one.
Beautiful. One thing I missed on my last visit was the flowers. I went too early in the year.
I must go next time I am in Paris.. there is just sooo much to see and do :-)
Peter, love seeing this wonderful Flower Market! I am enchanted with this post. Thanks for sharing so beautiful photos.
We loved this place but of course the children preferred the Bird Market with the bunnies and birds of course! :)

It's great to see it when you leave the Palais de Justice... and head to the charming Cité Metro station... ;)
As always you bring back my memories of childhood. My mother took me often to the bird and flower markets on Sunday mornings – it was always such a treat.
Je ne suis jamais allée au marché aux fleurs. Merci pour la visite!
Oh my goodness, what a post and what glorious photographs.
I have fun with, cause I discovered exactly what I used to be looking for.
You've ended my 4 day long hunt! God Bless you man.
Have a nice day. Bye|
