Jean Talon Market

The Jean Talon Market is a vast, square-shaped expanse filled with open-air aisles and permanent specialty shops, easily identified by the bustling crowds gathered around its central building, known as the chalet. Inaugurated in nineteen thirty-three during the mayoralty of Camillien Houde, it began as the Marché du Nord, serving a city that needed a centralized place to feed its growing population.
