(Last Update: 30.01.2025) In the middle of Paris, Cite IslandThere is a wonderful flower market right in the middle of: Marché aux Fleurs Reine Elizabeth II... M4 of the metro City When you get off at the station, most people pass by this place surrounded by greenery, right across from the stairs at the exit, without seeing it, because their main destination is Notre Dame CathedralThey are focused on the target to reach... However, if they enter the glass windowed place in front of them, they will encounter a world so colorful and flowery that their days will be brightened and their memories will be colorful.
Marché aux Fleurs means "flower market". This is a nice place where all kinds of flowers, interesting garden plants, garden materials, decorative items and gifts are sold. I think there was once a bird market, just like our market place behind the New Mosque.
When we say "Reine Elizabeth II" Queen of England II. elizabeth. It is very new that this name was given to this place anyway, it was in honor of the queen's visit to Paris in June 2014. Previously it was just “Marché aux Fleurs” (march that flirt or magşe o foil) in other words, it was called "flower market", which is still how it is called in many places, but since it has been given this name now, let's record it as such.
I have to admit, although I am someone who loves flowers and gardening, gardening is not for me. I spent my childhood in a house with a garden in Koşuyolu, and it was my duty to water the garden of our house every evening; I was feeling swollen from just standing there with the hose in my hand :) Although there are now much more modern methods of watering and gardening, the idea of tending to the garden reminds me of this endless memory of garden watering and worms in the soil and I wince. That's why it is enough for me to be in a beautifully landscaped garden adorned with various flowers; As long as I don't have to deal with that garden :)
But of course, there are also people whose hobby is gardening; For example, my dear friend Zekai. First, he turned the large balcony of his house into a forest, then he moved to a house with a garden and buried a house money in that garden; Then he sold his house and moved to a new place with a bigger garden and a smaller house :) He never invited a gardener to his house, he dealt with everything one by one and then when he couldn't slow down, he resigned from his job and settled in Urla and started a farm for himself :) I appreciate and respect it, of course. but here it is; Those things are not for me...
That's why wandering around such flower markets is just a pleasure for the eyes. Beautiful colorful flowers, interesting garden plants, tree species, garden equipment that resembles art objects, and of course, stunningly beautiful garden accessories and souvenirs. It's all waiting for you at Marché aux Fleurs.
This flower market is organized in the form of covered windows. It consists of 6 separate buildings. You pass through them like a passage; Some of them have shop-style sections, while others are arranged in a larger area to look like a garden. It is a very enjoyable place to visit, look at and watch, and looks like a marketplace. 1808Marché des Fleurs has been an indispensable address for flower lovers ever since.
One end of the market starts from Cité station, the other end Seine River It extends to the coast. On that side, on the opposite side of the road, there is a small extension parallel to the river. It's not a very big place anyway, but as I said, walking around here is a feast for the eyes and the heart. It may be difficult to buy flowers for your home, but if you have them, it is possible to find an object for your garden or a small souvenir as a souvenir.
After visiting this place, Our LadyYou can continue on your way to. It's already two steps away. From the direction you came, when you turn your back to the flower market, turn to the left of the Cité station. As soon as you reach the street, turn right and continue walking. Two steps on your left Notre Dame Cathedral It will appear before you in all its glory.

Thanks to this article, I will stop by when I come to Notre Dame, thank you very much :)
If you are going to leave this metro station on your way to Notre Dame, you should definitely stop by, otherwise there is no need to come just to see this :) Although it is more beautiful in the spring, seeing flowers in winter is truly heartwarming in this beautiful place. I hope you like it too
