Grand Marché, Central marketplace in Bamako, Mali.
The Grand Marché spans multiple blocks with sections dedicated to textiles, fresh produce, spices, handicrafts, and local agricultural products from surrounding regions.
The marketplace underwent reconstruction after a significant fire in 1993, maintaining its original Sudanese architectural design while adapting to modern commercial needs.
Local designers at the market transform traditional Malian fabrics into custom clothing, preserving centuries-old textile techniques through contemporary fashion creations.
Visitors can explore the market from Monday through Saturday between 8:00 and 18:00, with morning hours offering a calmer shopping experience.
The market contains specialized areas where artisans create made-to-measure basin boubous using techniques specific to different Malian regions.
