Flower Market on the Île de la Cité in Paris

Picturesque flower market dating back to around 1808, with numerous stalls selling plants, crafts, and live birds. The Île de la Cité has many surprises in store! On Place Louis-Lépine, between Notre-Dame Cathedral and Sainte-Chapelle, the flower market has been welcoming plant lovers and curious visitors since 1830. Partially covered and open-air, the market features pavilions dating from 1900. The selection is wide: seasonal flowers, exotic blooms, orchids, plants, shrubs… An unusual and charming place to stroll. Two other flower markets in Paris: Place de la Madeleine (open daily 8am–7:30pm, except Sundays) and Place des Ternes (open daily 8am–7:30pm, except Mondays).
