Tell me about the gig:

Step into the charm of a Parisian village with no passport required. On the first Sunday of every month, The Entertainment Quarter transforms into Le Marché – French Markets, a vibrant celebration of French culture, cuisine and craftsmanship.

Set beneath the Market Canopy, more than 45 artisan stalls bring the spirit of France to life with fresh produce, handmade homewares, boutique fashion and an ever-changing line up of gourmet delights. Whether you’re a devoted Francophile or simply after a unique Sunday experience, Le Marché is your chance to flâner – to wander, taste and indulge.
