Plaza Francia

About

Plaza Francia is an elegant public square in the Recoleta neighborhood of Buenos Aires, framed by the French Embassy, the Recoleta Cultural Centre, and lush tree-lined gardens. The square is best known for its long-running weekend artisan fair, where local crafts makers set up stalls selling handmade jewelry, pottery, leather goods, and art every Saturday and Sunday. During the week it serves as a peaceful garden retreat with shaded benches and decorative sculptures, forming part of the wider Recoleta cultural precinct.
