Flower Market Queen Elizabeth II

The Marche aux fleurs Reine-Elizabeth-II is a specialised flower market on the Ile de la Cite, founded in 1830 between Place Louis-Lepine and the Quai de la Corse. Its distinctive green cast-iron pavilions date from the Belle Epoque. For decades a parallel Sunday bird market ran here, finally closed in 2021. In 2014 the City of Paris renamed the market in honour of a state visit by the British queen. Vendors sell cut flowers, potted plants, orchids and gardening supplies. The market sits between Notre-Dame and Sainte-Chapelle and makes a quiet stop on the Cite. Open daily except Sundays.
