Here’s a handy guide to help you plan your visit, whether you’re a market regular or a visiting tourist!

For those who prefer active transport, coming by bike is a great option! Whether it’s your own bike or a BIXI, it’s a mode of transport that will be safe thanks to the proximity of the Réseaux express vélo on Saint-Denis street and several other bike paths in the surrounding streets.
