On Sunday, 5th November, Francophiles, lovers of European food and culture will flock to one of Sydney's best French Markets.

The 13th Annual French Market on Sydney's northern beaches is set to be bigger and better than ever. With over 70 fabulous stalls full of quality goods, gourmet and fine foods and unique items. Last year, an estimated 7000 visitors came through the doors not just to buy fantastic goods but just to enjoy a great family day out.



This is a great opportunity to get ahead of your Christmas shopping with a huge range of fantastic items, including french linen tableware, artisan jewellery, ceramics, clothing, bags, books, children's room décor, vintage posters and more.





As well as quality gifts, market-goers can fill their basket with delicious French bread, pâtés and terrines, saucissons, cheeses, pastries, chocolates and cakes to take home.

A number of well-known French patisseries and providers from all over Sydney are supplying the markets.





At the same time, members of FANS will be digging out their recipe books from France and baking treats from the delicious 'madeleine' cakes and other sweet treats, to a variety of savoury tarts and quiches.



The air will be buzzing with excitement and festivities all to a backdrop of French music. There will be dance performances, a French-style "merguez" barbeque, crêpes and for the kids – games, face painting and fairy floss.



Highlights of the 13th Annual French Market:

TASTE: Crêpes, 'merguez' sausage sizzle, croque-monsieur, raclette cheese, croissants, pâtés and terrines, baguettes, pains au chocolat, handmade chocolates and more.



SHOP: French fashion, clothes, jewellery, accessories, cosmetics

ABOUT FANS (French-speaking Association of the North Shore)
FANS was created in 1998 by French families settling in Sydney's North Shore area. More than 100 families are current members.

The French-English bilingual program of Killarney Heights Public School has attracted many families to the Forestville/Killarney Heights area. French-speaking families enjoy being at a school where they can be part of the Australian community and where their children can progress in French. Many English-speaking Australian families are also attracted to the school as their children can get exposure to a second language, which has recognised educational benefits.
