| - I recently revisited this market and I was reminded what a historic, wonderful gem it is, here in the city of Montreal. The sheer size of the market is impressive, comprised of an enormous square, neatly organized within by blocks of venders. The aisles are all straightforward and wide so there is ample room to circulate. I appreciated the grid-like arrangement, as so many farmers' markets are wildly arranged in a hodge-podge, random fashion.
And the fares themselves! Amazing! Not only are there fruits and vegetables of any and every variety, but there are to-die-for charcuteries (meats), poissonerie shops (fish), fromagerie shops (cheese), pasta makers, honey stands, chocolateries (no translation needed!), flower stands, gelato and ice cream makers, coffee vendors.,.., I could go on and on and on. And everything's fresh and local and gourmet to the max. If I still lived in the city, I'd be coming here weekly for my grocery shopping.
