THe Bonsecours Market used to be an actual marketplace. Today it is a small 'mall' of sorts that houses boutiques of different artisans; leather, pottery, glass.

Bonsecours Market in Old Montreal is a truly distinctive place to shop for fashion, home and sourvenir items. In particular, I loved several of the shops which carried clothing and other items created by Montreal and Quebec designers. It is well worth a stop on a tour through Old Montreal. More

Though this site is beautiful to visit and check out the old architecture, this market place was where Montrealers came to get fresh produce directly from the farmers. Up to the 1950's you could see horse drawn wagons and trucks backed up to the sidewalks where farmers would sell there goods. More
