Marche aux Fleurs et aux Oiseaux

You’ll whiff a wide selection of seasonal and exotic flowers, plants, and shrubs at this market on the Île de la Cité. The pavilion has attracted avid gardeners and curious passersby following their noses since 1830. When they’re in season, you can smell the hyacinth from several meters away. On Sundays, the market takes on a different smell when it transforms into a pet market, with birds, rabbits, and chinchillas for sale.
