This is the "administrative upper town." You have almost completed the loop.
(see section 2)

In front of the modern courthouse (1971) stands a sculpture by Charles Daudelin, entitled "Allégrocube." A bit farther on is a monument to the daring Marguerite Bourgeoys.

An eloquent conclusion to your tour: side by side, the 1925 courthouse, a 1913 skyscraper and a house built in 1811 in the French Régime style.

The "New Courthouse"
dating from the 1920s, gave up its original vocation to house music and drama conservatories. It will soon return to its roots, however, as it is to house the court of appeal. It is now called the Cormier Building, in honour of its designer, Ernest Cormier.

One of the allegorical bronze bas-reliefs from the doors of the 1925 Courthouse.
