Marche de la Gare

Reviewed By debrakgrose - Port Perry, Canada

Sherbrooke's former train station has been converted into a fantastic market ~ Marché de la Gare. It features an indoor area with four specialty food businesses - Fromagerie de la Gare, cheesemonger; La Boucherie du Terroir, Butcher shop; Savo, Gourmet coffees and gelato; William J. Walter, Sausage-maker. Who could resist freshly baked baguettes, croissants right beside all those delectable cheeses. I certainly couldn't it was Heaven! Outside the Marché de la Gare, was their Marché de Noël du Marché de la Gare - Outdoor Christmas market! We did Christmas shopping and making merry with mulled wine, Great way to shop! You can ride the giant Ferris wheel, visit Pere Noël or twirl around the outdoor skating rink or simply walk along the many paths! It was a fabulous way to spend a Saturday afternoon in Sherbrooke!
