Place Jacques Cartier

Old Montreal Tourist Central

The cobblestoned Place Jacques Cartier was for the longest time (1804-1960) the site of Montreal's main public market, but today it's visitors, artists and buskers that make the spot bustle.

Nelson's Column at it's northern end is a third of the size of its London counterpart and was erected by local anglophones to celebrate the admiral's defeat of the French at Trafalgar in 1805.

For decades afterwards the British colonialist undertones irked the local French community who planned variously to blow it up or move it elsewhere. But the statue clung on regardless, with the weather-damaged original even being replaced by a new copy in the 1990s.
