Tour of Marché Jean-Talon Market , Montreal , Canada
The Jean-Talon Market gives visitors a richer, more authentic market experience.
The Jean-Talon Market is frequented by Montreal residents rather than tourists, which translates to cheaper prices and a more genuine range of product.
Whether you want to soak up the atmosphere of a Montreal market, pick up lunch or buy a tasty Montreal souvenir, Jean Talon Market is well worth the visit .
There's loads of taste testers in the market and kiosks selling such tasty fare as Calamari & Chips or irresistible Onion Bhaji.
Olive & Épices offers workshops and tastes of its exquisite oils and spices.
Many Jean-Talon merchants, such as Boucherie les Fermes Saint-Vincent, have been growing organic food for years.
Havre aux Glaces specializes in unique frozen desserts.
The Jean-Talon Market is a great place to visit as there is lots going on , during a normal day of operation the market is always busy given the walk from the subway is about 10 mins and the prices you can't beat.
There's even live music by local musicians like Ms. Véronique Bacci
and her lovely accordion music as seen at 4:28 of our video.
During my visit her music gave the market that old yet classic village market feel similar to that of the markets in France & Northern Europe.
The market is open year-round, even during Montreal's severe winters, although during this time walls are placed around the entire market area. During the peak summer period, between June and October, its open-air arcades are occupied by about 300 vendors, mostly farmers from the countryside around Montreal.
The open air market is surrounded by other food businesses: meat, fish and cheese stores, bulk food emporia, dealers in spices and imported goods, bakeries, restaurants and a branch of the SAQ, among others.
Stores surrounding the open-air market include: La Fromagerie Hamel William J. Walter boucherie Les Touilleurs kitchenware
Since July 15, 2006 vehicles are banned from circulating inside the market's streets during the summer weekends.
Choices & selection:
In addition to the above, Jean-Talon Market features chocolatiers, fromageries, maple syrup makers, bakeries, wine shops, sushi, and more.
History of the market :
The market was opened to the public in 1933 while Camillien Houde was the city mayor. Before that, the space the market now occupies was a lacrosse field for the Shamrock Lacrosse Grounds club.
The market's single building (the chalet) quickly become the focal point for development of the area around it. From the opening until 1961, the chalet was used as a terminal for buses heading to the neighbouring city of Laval.
Between 1961 and 1970 a municipal library and a social services centre replaced the bus station. Since then, the space was occupied by administrative offices.
Major renovations were undertaken in 2004 to handle the crowds that populate the market during the summer months. An underground parking lot was constructed, and an above ground structure was built over the underground parking area, to host 20 specialty boutiques.
Getting to Jean-Talon Market:
Address: 7070, Henri-Julien St., south of Jean-Talon St.

Traditional Rajasthani jewellery on display in Jaipur
Kundan jewellery embedded with sapphire stone : a popular choice among the Rajasthanis in India. Meenakari also another traditional Rajasthani jewellery on display in a store. Both of these popular and expensive form of jeweleries originated in Rajasthan and slowly concurred the heart of thousands of women in around India and other parts of the world.
Kundan meena jewellery is a traditional form of Indian gemstone jewellery involving a gem set with gold foil between the stones and its mount, usually for elaborate necklaces. The method is believed to have originated in the royal courts of Rajasthan and Gujarat. It is the oldest form of jewellery made and worn in India.
Meena Kundan, also known as Bikaneri or Jaipuri jewellery, is a popular variation, wherein enameling with vivid colours and designs is on the reverse, while the kundan setting is in the front. The city of Jaipur in Rajasthan has traditionally been the centre for Kundan jewellery in India.
Meenakari is the art of coloring and ornamenting the surface of metals by fusing over it brilliant colors that are decorated in an intricate design. Mina is the feminine form of Minoo in Persian, meaning heaven. Mina refers to the Azure colour of heaven. The Iranian craftsmen of Sasanied era invented this art and Mongols spread it to India and other countries. French tourist, Jean Chardin, who toured Iran during the Safavid rule, made a reference to an enamel work of Isfahan, which comprised a pattern of birds and animals on a floral background in light blue, green, yellow and red. Gold has been used traditionally for Meenakari Jewellery as it holds the enamel better, lasts longer and its luster brings out the colors of the enamels. Silver, a later introduction, is used for artifacts like boxes, bowls, spoons, and art pieces while Copper which is used for handicraft products were introduced only after the Gold Control Act, which compelled the Meenakars to look for a material other than gold, was enforced in India.
Initially, the work of Meenakari often went unnoticed as this art was traditionally used as a backing for the famous kundan or stone-studded jewellery. This also allowed the wearer to reverse the jewellery as also promised a special joy in the secret of the hidden design!
