Welcome to Frenchtown, New Jersey

On behalf of the FBPA, I welcome you to our great Victorian village on the Delaware River, the best kept secret in NJ. We boast great dining opportunities, terrific B and B's, and an amazing assortment of quality shops featuring upscale gifts, casual and dressy attire, home décor with everything from antiques to contemporary. What's more, Frenchtown is a charming and scenic place to visit, walk or bike our canal paths, spend a day in one of our spas, and perhaps catch a play with our River Union Stage.

We host three big festivals a year: for 2008 the Wine and Art Weekend (June 7-8), Bastille Weekend (July 12-13) and RiverFest (Aug 30 - Sept 1). The latter features our annual independent film festival and an array of "green" initiatives. And if you are looking for a terrific place to open your own boutique or professional space, talk to us. We think you will love it here.

Some new development projects are making Frenchtown an even more exciting place to be…the new River Mills project by George Michael will feature important new condominiums near the river with store fronts near the bridge; a new riverside park is in the planning stages, and a new Victorian mixed-use building site is under review for the eastern edge of town.

And visiting us is just the start. If you are seeking a great community to live in, give us a look ... terrific schools, active churches, committed local organizations and terrific homes. Among our members are real estate companies that can help you find the perfect place.

Merci
Cleo Sharplin, President FBPA and owner of Alchemy.
