Montréal - La Petite-Italie: Marché Jean-Talon - poivrons

Marché Jean-Talon (Jean-Talon Market), a farmer's market and bordered by Jean-Talon Street to the north, Mozart Ave. to the south, Casgrain Ave. to the west and Henri-Julien Ave. to the east, is spread out across two city-maintained streets in La Petite-Italie (Little Italy).

 

The market was first opened to the public in 1933 on the former site of the lacrosse field for the "Shamrock Lacrosse Grounds" club. The market is open year-round, even through a harsh winter, but during the peak summer period its open-air arcades are occupied by as many as 300 vendors. The open air market is surrounded by other food businesses.
