Holiday cheer was in the air at the Jean-Talon Market on Friday, as its first Christmas market opened to the public.
The market is set up to look like a small Christmas village, with 10 local merchants offering their wares in chalet-style stalls. Vendors include artisanal soaps, foie gras and duck products, handmade jewelry, maple syrup products and Quebec-grown dried fine herbs.“I’m excited to have the first edition here,” said the market’s interim director, Nicolas Fabien-Ouellet.
“It’s a good way to discover new products, to shop locally and to give small gifts to your loved ones.” There are also food stalls offering crepes and waffles and a food truck with hot chocolate and Christmas sangria.
But ya ride metro there. With multiple people. Stand in lines with multiple people. But no Christmas. Stand in lines at shops and malls but no family. Makes complete sense. Just saying
