Take a trip back in time and experience what life was like in New France in the 18th century!
One of Pointe-à-Callière's main events, put on every year in August in the area around the Museum and on Place Royale, the Public Market is a magnificent historical re-enactment. There are stalls, a military regiment and an Amerindian encampment, musicians, demonstrations by artisans, and some one hundred historical figures reproducing period scenes with stunning authenticity: There's no doubt you'll feel like you've been instantly transported back to the days of our ancestors.
The Public Market is also a great opportunity to purchase the kind of products available in the days of New France, and for children to enjoy the games Native and French youngsters played back then.
