As promised, the 10th annual Georgetown French Market April 19 and 20 in the Book Hill neighborhood of Georgetown wasn’t only a photo opportunity, but also a great video opportunity. With more than 40 participants displaying their goods on the area’s Wisconsin Avenue patio, events were both colorful and eclectic.

English translation:
“If you listen well, despite the traffic, you’ll find a rarity.”
Mawula Ahalou, Cafe Bonaparte: “French culture is an integral part of my life.”
Marie Follea, Patisserie Poupon: “…to see a bit of France.”
“No, we’re not in France. We’re at the Georgetown French Market. Washington hosts many markets throughout the spring and summer. But this market — full of art for francophones and anglophones alike — has clothes for every age, handmade jewelry, the country’s classic foods. Participants are pleased to have a celebration of French culture. Even if they weren’t French, the businesses next door benefited from the market’s visitors.”
Laurent Chaeuvet, Salon ILO: “It’s a very good market. It represents a bit of France. Everyone’s out on the sidewalk. Everyone who passes up and down sees it. It’s fun. It has a great ambiance. I like it.”
“There was something for everyone. For District Wire News, I’m Natalie Plumb.”
