Queen Elizabeth II Flower Market, Flower market in 4th arrondissement, Paris, France.
The Queen Elizabeth II Flower Market is a flower market in the 4th arrondissement of Paris located beneath a series of Art Nouveau metal pavilions. The structures date to 1900 and line both sides of Allee Celestin Hennion in a U-shape, where vendors display European and tropical plants.
The market was established in 1830 on Place Louis Lepine and became a major flower trading center in Paris. In 2014, it received its current name as a tribute to Queen Elizabeth II during commemorations related to D-Day.
On Sundays, the market becomes a bird market where locals source pets and supplies like cages and feed for their animals. This weekly transformation reflects how Parisians have used this public space for different purposes over generations.
The market sits at Place Louis Lepine near the Prefecture de Police and is open throughout the week including Sundays. Visitors should know that the market's character shifts by day of the week, with weekdays focused on flowers and Sundays transforming into a bird market.
The metal pavilions are deliberately arranged in a distinctive U-shape along Allee Celestin Hennion, giving the market a unique spatial structure. This layout makes it easy for visitors to navigate between sections while continuously encountering different vendors.
