The Palais des congrès de Montréal (convention centre) welcomes visitors in an eco responsible building that combines beauty and function and whose architecture builds on transparency and light. Among the highlights are the Lipstick Forest, a forest of pink trees, imagined by artist Claude Cormier, and its front panels of coloured glass. Like a window, the reflected game of light colours the interior and the exterior of the Palais. The commercial gallery boasts a variety of restaurants and shops to meet visitors' diverse needs.
