由魁北克市时任市长Joseph-Octave Samson委任，建筑师Adalbert Trudel进行设计，Pavillon du Commerce最初是为了取代以前的Palais de l’Industrie（工业宫），魁北克农业协会曾以ExpoCité为目的在这里举办过农业博览会，协会的主要目标是教育和推广最优良的农业实践。Pavillon du Commerce自建成以后，承担着不同的功能，现在它将容纳魁北克城市的Grand Marché（大市场）。目前建筑转型一方面出于未来ExpoCité工作组希望将其发展战略重点放在农产品领域的原因，另一方面源自魁北克园艺合作社（CHQ）在现有重塑魁北克港计划的背景下，对重建一处新公共市场的兴趣。

Designed by architect Adalbert Trudel and commissioned by Quebec City’s then mayor Joseph-Octave Samson, the Pavillon du Commerce was originally built to replace the former Palais de l’Industrie which once hosted agricultural fairs organized by the Quebec Agricultural Society on the grounds of ExpoCité. The primary objective of the Quebec Agricultural Society was to educate and promote the best farming practices. After serving several different functions since it was built, the Pavillon du Commerce will now house Quebec City’s Grand Marché. The current transformation stems, on the one hand, from the desire of a working group on the future of ExpoCité to focus its development strategy on the agro-food sector and, on the other, from the interest of the Coopérative des horticulteurs de Québec (CHQ) in developing a new public market on this site, in the context of the current redevelopment plans for the Port of Quebec.
