Marché Jean-Talon été 2019
Marché Jean-Talon (Jean Talon Market) is a public market in Montreal’s Little Italy. Adopting its present name in the 1980s, it was originally called Marché du Nord (Northern Market or North End Market). Architect Charles-Aimé Reeves designed the Art Deco main building which opened in 1933. This facility replaced the Shamrock sports club, which explains why it was also known as the Marché Shamrock (Shamrock Market) in its early years. Featuring a large open air market with a smaller main building than other public markets in Montreal, this structure is nicknamed the Chalet. For many years, in addition to fruits and vegetables, live animals were also sold here. Even without that aspect, it remains a popular food market.
