Le Marche - Gloves - Antiques Near Me - Norfolk, Virginia

Cute shop with such adorable treasures. It's on the pricier side for sure. It's a good gift store for the more posh friend or family member. Nice shop. read more

I have shopped at and visited the wonderful staff of this unique boutique for over 23 years. In any US city, great or small, this lovely establishment would be a considered a goldmine of taste and treasure. When a shop carries delightful product at all price points, that is a mark of great taste that will delight you and anyone that you buy for. Even the little ones will receive gifts from you of quality that will inform and delight their childhood and create memories that they can pass on to their little ones. You are getting perhaps a card, some chocolates, something unique for the kitchen, a lovely set of pajamas, fine linens, silk flowers, antiques, etc. that not only delight you, but are care for yourself, those you cherish, and those you regard with convivial affection. read more

Fantastic French themed boutique. I love shopping there. Beautiful, unique items. When I buy their clothes, I aways get so many compliments. They carry high quality products, not the type I've ordered on line and sent back. I've also bought many decorative home items for reasonable prices! Their chocolates are scrumptious too. The staff are always friendly and helpful. read more

expensive but has cute stuff, the lady was really nice and knowledgeable on the products she is selling!!

Great place to shop. I found some unique gifts. They are so helpful and knowledgeable.

Everything was, surprisingly, reasonably priced for the Ghent area and they had a good variety of kids toys amongst all the chocolates, plate collections, and cute French things. It was delightful! read more

See all

Over the last decade or so, I've (insert any verb here) in Ghent. Except visit Le Marche! Like everyone else that has been to the Colley Ave part of Ghent, I've seen the bicycle out front oodles of times and promised myself that next time I would go inside and visit. March 19, 2015 was next time. In I went. What a treasure! Do yourself a favor and go visit this place, but do it when you have some time to kill. There is way too much to take in with just a quick glance and go visit, you have to take time to linger. Take time to talk with the incredibly helpful people that work here, they take pride in their wares and want to make sure you are fully informed about what you are looking at. To compile a list of what is here would be fruitless and rob you of half of the joy of visiting. I'm sure that with each succeeding visit I will find something new, something either overlooked on the last visit or something newly arrived. If you are in a pinch to find a unique gift for a unique occasion, you cannot go wrong at Le Marche. Tell them what you are looking for, or better yet, tell them WHY you are looking. Your tale will be rewarded with just the perfect suggestion of a gift. AND.....get the gift wrapping! I don't care if you have Martha Stewart herself locked away in the hall pantry, she can't come anywhere close to the wrapping job you will get here! The wrapping alone is almost enough reason to make this my first and last stop for any gifts I purchase from March 19, 2015 forward. 5 stars and hits the Must Do list. read more

You don't find stores like this very often. Locally owned and operated, this store has an assortment of things that can fit your needs. I've walked past the store on many occasions without going in, but after needing a last minute present I came here with hopes to find something. The store in split into 3 sections. Children's toys, books, and very few clothing to the left, fine chocolates in the middle, and home goods to the right. I found a gift in the children's section and the price wasn't higher than walmart. Without me asking, I was offered complimentary gift wrapping. Simple touches like that make the difference and I will definitely be back. read more

This is one of my favorite shops to browse in. They have so many unique items and excellent quality, most is affordable as well. The personal service is wonderful. Gift wrapping is beautiful. If you need something unique and special this is the place to find it. read more

Le Marché is a gem in the neighborhood. It's more than a shop; it's an experience of unique, mostly French, items and casual high-quality service. Yes, it carries expensive merchandise. I'm certainly not rich but usually have been able to find just the right gift at a good price. Moreover, and very important for me, the chocolate is fantastic and makes for a good small/hostess gift. Want to shop local and find something you won't see everywhere, put Le Marché on your itinerary. (Seriously, I received nothing for writing this review; I just love the store.) read more

I have shopped at Le Marche for 17 years. Their customer service is beyond superb. Thru the years, I have enjoyed their first class selection in Crane stationary, furniture, linens, silverware and Christmas ornaments. If you are looking for a special item, their personal shopping services will research and find top quality for the customer need. Their exquisite and classy gift wrapping has always made someone feel very special. read more

Upon first glance inside the beautiful, luxuriously appointed window, one would assume high prices and snobbish service. This could not be further from the truth. Le Marche is a gem in the Ghent neighborhood that supplies us with beautiful French- country accoutrements, fantastic gifts, and decadent Neuhaus chocolates. The staff is wonderful! They are helpful and truly care about the customers' needs and wants. Do not be intimidated by the appearance of the windows. You will be pleasantly surprised how affordable much of their merchandise is. Head to the back and try an Astrid or Cornet chocolate and your troubles will melt away. They also carry an extensive selection of well-made Melissa & Doug wooden toys. There is also a lovely baby gift section in addition to the home goods. At Christmas time, the ornaments on the tree are stunning and very reasonably priced. And, Michelle will happily and beautifully wrap any purchases. Go look at what they have in this lovely shop. You will fall in love just as I have. read more

This is a great store that we are lucky to have in Norfolk. It's so nice not to have to go a chain store at the mall. There are beautiful household items. I met one of the owners and she is ordering personalized towels for me. You just don't find this level of quality or service very often. You can get luxury items here for surprisingly reasonable prices. It's a real treat to shop here. We buy all of our baby gifts and house warming gifts here. Their gift-wrapping is the best in tidewater. read more

I stopped by this store today and was so pleased with the unique selection and wonderful products. I got some powder and hand soaps, what a treat. I spoke with who I think may have been one of the owners for about an hour. Me being new to the area, we carried on great conversation and she gave tips for great places around here. I am kicking myself for forgetting her name. I will be back again in a few weeks when they get a new shipment of laundry detergent in. This is my new favorite store! read more
