Saint-Paul and de la Commune Streets

Culture, arts and heritage Leisure activities Architecture Outdoor Old Montréal and Old Port Montréal

For years, Saint-Paul Street was Montréal's main street. Many of the buildings, which date from the 19th century, have been renovated and today serve as artisanal boutiques, designers shops, art galleries, artists' studios and even homes, not to forget the famous Marché Bonsecours. Those cobblestone streets overflow with warm, inviting restaurants, chansonnier bars, jazz clubs, and seductive lounges. No room for ennui. Saint-Paul Street is pedestrian-only between rue du Marché-Bonsecours and boulevard Saint-Laurent from April to October.
