What Fun!! BEAUTIFUL Produce!!
We were staying in Bloomingdale, about 15 minutes away and I arrived at the market around 8:30 on Saturday. Easily found parking and got right to it. It was just HORRIBLE that I was in town until Thursday so I couldn't buy any of the totally beautiful produce! I mean, fresh, gorgeous fruits, veggies, herbs. I was just sick that I was 5 days away from traveling a few thousand miles to home and couldn't just stock up on everything they had. But I made due. I bought spices and dog treats, all natural energy shots, spicy mustard (the guys makes them himself!), spicy giardiniera, and an assortment of cheeses (I do have a backpack cooler for the trip home!). All the while drooling over the crepes, pretzels, cupcakes, the dozens of assorted fresh made breads. I walked thru pretty slow and was there about an hour and 1/2. This is a gold mine of local flavor! It started getting crowded about the time I was leaving. This market is a must do for any foodie!!

French Market in Wheaton
Friendly, upbeat atmosphere. Great place for fresh veggies and flowers. Most of the time though, too many strollers for the width of the isles.

C'est la vie!
The French Market is a fun way to spend an hour or two on a Saturday morning. Offering a solid variety of foods (French, Thai, crepes, eggs, meats, assorted vegetables, fruits, bakery products, popcorn, oils, jellies, salsa, coffee, etc.), this market also offers clothing, French products, jewelry, books, etc. At the market, I bought 10 finger puppets to take on a long plane trip with young children. They took no space in my carry-on suitcase and provided HOURS of amusement. We wrote and produced plays; we designed (and colored) background scenery. Everyone, even the adults, had a part. We laughed so hard ... we cried. Now, every time I visit the French Market, I keep an eye out for the next great find. This market is fun! C'est la vie!
