THE old market in (the French quarter), downtown. Outer sections are souvenir stalls. Inner section is divided up into food, goods, household, glassware, diy etc.
This is the best place to buy local fruit, veg and meat (if you know where to go). It looks daunting to the first timer, and I'll be honest the smells can be a bit strong! But get to know your way around and it's great.
