Street Market On Copenhagen's Little Bit Of Paris

One of my favorite streets in Copenhagen, Værnedamsvej, has welcomed springtime with a street market on this beautiful, sunny Saturday.

Værnedamsvej is a small street that connects Gammel Kongevej and Vesterbrogade on Frederiksberg. It's been known as the street that is a little bit of Paris in Copenhagen, because a number of French restaurants and shops as well as the French private school, Lycée Francais, are located on this street. It's a great area to explore if you want your morning muffin and coffee, new threads or a gastronomic fix, as lots of local Frederiksberg and Vesterbro residents do.

Crowded with happy people with strollers, dogs and bikes, there was a great feel to the street market, helped along with funky music that set the beat for everyone.

 

 

 Local shops had some great offers and displays for the day.

Check out the local optometrist's funky window display.

Some people had also arranged their own little flea markets with used clothes, dvds, porcelain and a lot more.

And then there were the more special things on sale. Like these vintage lamps...

...and these spotlights, which looked like they came straight from the rafters of a theatre.

 The restaurants and cafes of Værnedamsvej had their bit of the street market, too. 

People were also enjoying a little something for their taste buds in the sun at popular spots, like Les Trois Cochons...

... the wine bar, Falernum....

...and one of my favorite cafes from when I lived up on Gammel Kongevej, Caffe Viggo.

The guys of Cafe Viggo added to the street party feel as well by manning a hot dog stand. Nomnom!

The lucky ones, like these guys, had great vantage points from which they could follow everything going on up and down the street.

But whether or not there's a street market or party going on, I'd recommend a trip to Værnedamsvej if you like small, cozy shops, good food and wine.
