Georges-Étienne Cartier Monument

On the park's northeastern edge, on Ave du Parc, this statue draws hundreds of revelers every Sunday for spontaneous dancing in what has been dubbed "Tam-Tam Sundays" (tam-tams are bongo-like drums). It's nothing less than an institution. If the noise doesn't lead you all the way there, just follow your nose toward whiffs of "wacky tabaccy." This is also a good spot to pick up some unusual handicrafts sold by local artisans.
