Le Marché French Markets

Le Marché at The Entertainment Quarter: Your Monthly Escape to Parisian Chic

There’s something effortlessly romantic about a French market. The scent of freshly baked pastries, the warm chatter between artisan stallholders, the soft sounds of a chanson drifting in the air. Now imagine all of that — right here in Sydney.

Le Marché, the French Market at The Entertainment Quarter, Moore Park, brings the spirit of the south of France to life, one Sunday a month. For anyone who’s ever wandered cobbled streets in Provence or dreamt of browsing the stalls of Rue Cler, this is your chance to flâner — to wander, taste, and indulge.

So, what is Le Marché?

Le Marché isn’t just a market — it’s a curated cultural experience. Set beneath the iconic Market Canopy at EQ, the first Sunday of every month is transformed into a petite pocket of France.

Here, you’ll discover more than 45 artisan stalls offering everything from authentic French foods and premium Australian produce to boutique fashion, handmade homewares and fine French wine. The lineup shifts slightly each month, but expect some très délicieux staples:

• Raclette melting over hot potatoes

• Golden, buttery croissants still warm from the oven

• Crêpes made to order, sweet or savoury

• Charcuterie, cheeses, and organic sourdoughs to fill your market bag

• And of course, Champagne by the glass, because… pourquoi pas?

But it’s not just about what you can eat and buy — it’s about how you feel. With live French music performances, barista-brewed coffee, and a relaxed but stylish crowd, Le Marché is the perfect Sunday outing, solo or with friends.

Event Details:

• When: Every first Sunday of the month

Whether you’re a devoted Francophile or simply seeking a unique cultural experience, Le Marché offers a delightful rendezvous with the essence of France. Come for the croissants, stay for the joie de vivre.
