As part of the Le Marché Français 2023, hosted by the Le Troquet bistro in collaboration with the French Institute, street ball, guinguette (French tavern), Bastille Day celebrations, and French food and wine market with open-air events and concerts will take place from July 14-16 in Budapest.
To celebrate the French national holiday, Bastille Day, Le Troquet bistro is organizing a three-day, open-air French market. The program series will offer both day and nighttime activities for those interested. Admission will be free of charge.
After the big success of last year’s Bal de rue (street ball), attended by over 3,000 customers,
this year it is coming back with an even bigger format- a three day French food and wine market.
Customers will have a chance to taste all kinds of French food ranging from cheese to croissants, all the way to the beloved delicacy of snails, and much more. On the wine side, all regions of France will be represented: Bordeaux, Bourgogne, Pays d’OC and of course, Champagne as well. To entertain visitors, Le Troquet will host concerts, live performances, and street art events.
On Thursday and Friday, the market will welcome customers between 10 a.m. and 10 p.m.
On the 14 of July from 3 to 4 p.m., the official inauguration will take place, followed by a broadcast of the Tour the France. From 6 p.m. till midnight, concerts will be in charge of the atmosphere.
