Georgetown is blessed with more than its fair share of French establishments: Bistro Lepic, Patisserie Poupon, Bistro Francais, Cafe Bonaparte, Cafe La Ruche, Citronelle, La Chaumerie. La liste goes on…
Well this weekend, Georgetown is about to get Frencher because it’s time for the annual French Market. From 11:00 AM to 6 PM this Friday and Saturday, 30 vendors from upper Wisconsin Ave. will be out selling their wares on the sidewalk.
GM’s always wondered what’s French about a large sidewalk sale. But oh well, it’s a fun time and a good way to give a little boost to a lot of fantastic independent stores.

Bring back the REAL French Market, which graced the 1600 block during the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s. Bring back the Rive Gauche, which graced the intersection of Wisc. and M during the Kennedy/Camelot era. Bring back Chez Odette, which was a fantastic family French restaurant on M Street. Bring back Crepes Suzette while you’re at it. Jacques Vivien was a master restaurateur.
