The French Market is one of Kish's shopping destinations, a place to wander between shops and see a range of goods. It suits anyone who wants to buy something before leaving or simply enjoy the bustle.

We do not vouch for any shop's prices or hours, which change quickly; if you have time, do a lap first and buy afterwards. At about three and a half kilometres from the centre it is a good short taxi or bicycle trip.
