Bonsecours Market, back
Easily identifiable by its splendid silver dome, now the symbol
of Old Montréal, Bonsecours Market presents a variety of interesting
exhibitions all year round, and admission is generally free ! The
building also houses friendly sidewalk cafés, restaurants and superb
boutiques showcasing the wares of Québec designers: from crafts to
design objects, fashions, jewellery, Native art and old-time
furniture.
The Bonsecours Market, which opened its doors in January 1847,
was built according to the plans of architect William Footner.
