A New Look for Papier

A new year means a new location for

the nomadic fair. Papier16 swaps

Montreal’s Mile End neighbourhood

for a historic building in the Old Port of

Montreal. A century-old building that once

greeted travellers arriving in Montreal

by boat, Hangar 16 was revived from

obsolescence in the s. 2ffering

industrial elegance and views of the city,

the new building will maintain the

fair’s spacious booths and aisles. And,

located a stone’s throw from the

Champs-de-Mars metro station, it’s easily

accessible from the rest of the city.

Talks and Tours

'aily talNs and guided tours are offered

in French and English. All of them

are free. 6eating is on a first-come basis.
