BNP Tower The Illuminated Crowd and Bonsecours Market in montreal

BNP Tower and The Illuminated Crowd : This striking all glass office tower is perhaps best known for the light-hearted sculpture at its base on McGill College Avenue: Raymond Mason's 'The Illuminated Crowd' is a life-size group of men, women and children looking amazed at something the passersby can only imagine. It is one of downtown's most visited attractions, a real touch of whimsy amidst the shadows of downtown. The building itself dates from 1983, when the broad avenue was remodelled in the spirit of Paris' Champs-Elysees. For staying in montreal in Canada select cheap hotels in montreal canada.
Bonsecours Market : Located in the cultural and tourism heart of Old Montreal, this neo-classic building dates from the mid-18th century. It has been home to a city hall, a reception centre, and public markets. In fact, following an 1849 fire in the Parliament Building, it became the seat of the United Canada Government. Today, following two restorations, the silver-domed building is used as an exhibition hall. It teems with sidewalk cafes, boutiques, souvenir shops and fine arts galleries. You will find everything from maps to fashion accessories and native art.
