Story

Bonsecours Market, at 350 rue Saint-Paul in Old Montreal, is a two-story domed public market. For more than 100 years, it was the main public market in the Montreal area. It also briefly accommodated the Parliament of United Canada for one session in 1849.Named for the adjacent Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Secours Chapel, it opened in 1847. During 1849 the building was used for the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Canada. The market's design was influenced by Dublin's Customs House.HistoryConstruction of this Palladian style building began in 1844 and was designed by British architect William Footner, and alterations completed in 1860 by Irish-born Montreal architect George Browne (1811–1885). Bonsecours Market also housed Montreal City Hall between 1852 and 1878. The former city hall chambers is now a 3700-square-meter meeting room.The market was also a venue for banquets, exhibitions and other festivals.

Today, the market is multi purpose facility: an up-scale mall that houses outdoor cafés, restaurants and boutiques on the main and second floors.

Historic Montreal market place. Next to many other historic sites in old Montreal. Awesome architecture. Overlooking the Saint Laurent River. Has a few restaurants and shops. Now host lots of exhibitions and other events like wine festivals for local producers and another one for private important, photo exhibitions... Worth the detour.

This is worth a visit when in the old port area. There is some unique items to be bought and plenty of people watching to be had. Very safe and interesting things to see. Easiest place to park in the old port areas.

Teetering on a 3 star rating, as the stores seem to all sell the same stuff. Yet redeeming factor is it is in the old city with lots to do around. Pro tip: if you look closely one can find nice artwork for sale here.

Very clean. Filled with small boutiques and perhaps some interesting restaurants downstairs. More of a cold weather activity.
