Quote: I adore shopping here, even though some of the items are cheap and not well-made. I guess I like to go back and forth on the prices with the vendors. I collect masks, so this is a great place for discounted ones. I also found some better deals here... Read the full French Market review

Quote: The prices were lower than many of the prices in the French Quarter, but many if not all of the vendors were charging the identical price and it was hard to barter for a lower price. Their prices seemed to me to be fixed. We found a place just... Read the full French Market review
