Documentaire - Centre-ville : l'âge des lumières
Centre-ville : l'âge des lumières souligne les batailles menées au coeur de Montréal : la lutte contre la prostitution et les maisons de jeu, l'union de la communauté gaie face à la répression, les efforts des artistes du Théâtre du Nouveau Monde pour se bâtir un espace de diffusion permanent.
Le récit des historiens côtoie des paroles intimes, comme celles de la comédienne Janine Sutto, pour raconter l'histoire d'une simple rue devenue l'un des phares de la modernité québécoise.

Artistiques Québécois - Guy Tremblay
Visit our site:
We found his house on the outskirts of Quebec City in a leafy neighborhood full of old houses. We rang the doorbell and he came to greet us wearing an old t-shirt covered in blotches of colored paint -- the equivalent of Guy Tremblay's business suit!
He led us through his house down to his studio where we all squeezed into a small room crammed floor to ceiling with art supplies, half finished works of art and family photos. One thing you'll quickly learn about Guy is that he is a family man. Coming from a family of 7 brothers and sisters Guy is the youngest and has had loads of artistic influence from his whole family. His father, who has passed, was a creative man which was easily seen through the self-designed label on the homemade tin of maple syrup Guy gave us as a gift from his father. His mother, who is still very alive and active a youthful 84 years old, has always encouraged Guy to pursue his love of art. And Guy recently expanded his artistic repertoire after his brother taught him how to weld. Guy is now doing beautiful art pieces made from sculptured iron and glass. He says his family is just one of the many artistic Quebecois families who can be found all over the province.
Something Guy stressed to us on our visit was the intensity of the Quebec underground art scene. He said, 'don't let this little 'bat cave' fool you. There are hundreds of talented artists all over the province who work from modest studios like mine.' Guy wanted us to understand that the Quebec art scene runs much deeper than just the fancy shop fronts that you see around old Quebec City or the Old Port of Montreal. If you really open your eyes and ears to the local scene there is so much art to see and explore. Like everything else it sometimes takes some digging.
So next time you're in Quebec City, Montreal or anywhere in La Belle Province make sure you ask around, check the local newspapers and talk to the local tourist information people. You'll be surprised at how many Guys there are working quietly in little studios creating magnificent works of art. Having a chat with them is as rewarding as looking at the artwork itself.
Bon voyage!

Shortly after arriving in Honfleur, I took a trip into town to watch the Bastille Day celebrations with my mate Dave. The harbour was packed and it was a great evening.

Marché aux Puces de St-Ouen - Paris
Covering seven hectares, 3,000 traders and up to 180,000 visitors each weekend, the Marché aux Puces de St-Ouen is generally thought to be the biggest flea market in the world. If this conjures up images of a sprawling field filled with broken bed frames, faded curtains and sofas with the stuffing coming out, you're in for a surprise (and are better off going to the Montreuil version). The fleas left long ago, and since 1885 what started as a rag-and-bone shantytown outside the city limits has been organised into a series of enclosed villages, some entirely covered and others with open-air streets and covered boutiques for the antiques dealers. South of this sprawls the canvas-covered part where African tat, joss sticks, fake Converse trainers and cheap batteries are perused by crowds of teenagers - best avoided unless you're after that kind of thing.
In recent years rents have shot up. The result is that much of the Puces is more like a museum than a flea market, and restaurants are swiftly replacing antiques dealers who can no longer make ends meet. But once you get under its skin, the Puces still offers an intoxicating blend of the sublime and the ridiculous. Repeat visits pay off and the more you banter with the sellers (preferably in French) the more bargains will reveal themselves, especially in the couple of streets that still sell unrestored objects.
The main street is rue des Rosiers, and off this runs Marché Malassis (toys, vintage cameras and furniture), Marché Dauphine (furniture, ceramics), Marché Biron (expensive lighting, furniture and objets) and Marché Vernaison (more varied, with fashion, a gilding shop, books, prints and kitchenware). The open-air Marché Paul Bert (one of the two markets owned by the Duke of Westminster) has some beautiful 19th- and 20th-century furniture, though you'll need to bargain hard. But if you are looking for genuine bargains and unrenovated things Marché Lecuyer is the place to head: as the home of house-clearance specialists, it's the closest thing you'll find to a reclamation yard and many of the traders have warehouses that they may open for you if you are searching for something in particular.
Top tips
Enter the market from Garibaldi métro rather than Porte de St-Ouen - a longer trek on line 13 but you avoid the crowds and new tat.
Visit on a Monday morning, a cold, wet or snowy day, or in mid August - you're more likely to pick up a bargain.
If you like the look of something, don't pick it up or touch it. This already shows the dealer that you want it. Be prepared to walk away if you really want that good deal.
Bring cash with you (but keep an eye on your wallet). Some only take it, and for others it's a good bargaining tool. There is only one cashpoint and there is always a queue.
