The Place d'Youville in Old Montreal is a historical square in Montreal, named after Marguerite d'Youville. The roads from the Place Royale and McGill Street meet at this point. The square is notable as the site of marché Sainte-Anne (St. Anne's Market), a market building that once housed the Legislative Council and Assembly of Canada between 1844 to 1849, when it was burned down on April 25, 1849.
It was near to this spot, previously crossed by the Saint-Pierre river, that the first European inhabitants of Montreal arrived in 1642. Soon after, this frequently flooded area was abandoned in favour of the hill overlooking rue Notre-Dame.
For many years, the land around the present-day square was owned by the Old Montreal General Hospital. That hospital for the poor, built between 1692 et 1694, was run at first by the Charon Brothers then, from 1747, by the Congregation of the Sisters of Charity of Montreal, or Grey Nuns, founded by Marie-Marguerite d'Youville.
Proximity to the port gave the area a new lease of life. In 1833, the marché Sainte-Anne was built to accommodate the fruit and vegetable sellers. The Georgian building consisted for two long wings, a Portico entrance on one end and a central section topped with a smalle steeple. The marché Sainte-Anne was so attractive that the Parliament of the Province of Canada moved into it in 1844, where the representatives of Upper and Lower Canada sat (present-day south Ontario and Quebec); a second market building built in 1844 behind the new Parliament building (and later demolished in 1860) substituted the original role of the old market. It was burned down on April 25, 1849, when English-speaking demonstrators drove the representatives out and set fire to the building because they opposed the Rebellion Losses Bill, pardoning those who had been involved in the Lower Canada Rebellion. Montreal thus lost its status as capital city.

Travel video about destination Montréal in Canada. Canada's second largest city, Montreal is a fascinating blend of European charm and the American way of life. In Vieux-Montreal, narrow lanes and small houses recall the past and also the lifestyle of the original settlers. In the old fire station at Place d'Youville - one of the oldest markets in Montreal -- is the Centre d'Histoire in which the 350 year cultural history of the city is on display, from the development of the Irokese Settlement, its prolific fur trade, and right up to today's shining, energetic Metropolis. Although Montreal is located 1,600 kilometres from the open sea, it owes its wealth to its waterways which stretch from the country's interior, to the ocean. A trip on the Saint Lawrence River with the pleasure boat, B...

Quebec, Impressions, Canada please read more: https://blog.myvideomedia.com English see below [dt.] Quebec, die Hauptstadt der gleichnamigen Provinz in Kanada, wurde 1608 von Samuel de Champlain gegründet. Quebec blieb bis 1759 unter französischer Verwaltung. In diesem Jahr entschieden die Briten die Schlacht auf der Abraham Ebene für sich; die Stadt musste kapitulieren, und der Frieden von Paris 1763 brachte sie mit ganz Kanada unter die britische Krone. Zwölf Jahre später scheiterte ein Versuch der USA, die Stadt zu erobern. Der Name Quebec leitet sich aus dem Ausdruck Kebek aus der Algonkin-Sprache ab. Kebek bedeutet Engstelle und bezeichnet die Flussenge des Sankt-Lorenz-Stroms bei Québec. An dieser Stelle ließ sich der Fluss am leichtesten überqueren. Den schweren Geschützen, di...
During the last few hours in Montreal on Day 5 of our trip (Feb 22, 2011) I managed to get a few more things in. After a tour of the nicely stacked wine cellar of the Restaurant Bonaparte, I walked a few minutes west on Rue St-Paul to "Olive et Gourmando", a hugely popular café / bakery. By 10:30 in the morning it was already packed. I had a chance to interview co-owner Dyan Solomon who created this lovely eatery 14 years ago when Old Montreal was still a run-down part of town. Today her business has 35 employees and at noon time you have a hard time getting inside! Then I walked down a few steps to Place d'Youville to the Centre d'Histoire de Montreal, Montreal's municipal history museum. Historic guide Tyler Wood showed me through the whole museum and I enjoyed the exhibits that explain...
