Montreal’s Place Versailles runs along Sherbrooke Street East, and the majority of mall is one single ground floor. Above that is two smaller levels, one an upper level and the other a narrow mezzanine. And this directory follows those levels.
Because building is so long, knowing where something is located can make all the difference between a brief stroll or a lengthy detour. The ground floor are wide, so it would take you some time to walk to the opposite end.
The top left has a search box which take you to the right unit and level when you have its name. Otherwise, the categories runs: beauty, electronics, fashion, food, services. Stay within the category corresponding to your objective; it’s worth it.
The names in the list correspond to the yellow shapes, and the note tell you about the business. If you’re checking out the plan from your car, go full screen on your phone; zoom with the scroll wheel or from the lower right.
The level buttons appears at the upper right. If you skip over these, you’ll miss something that isn’t on the ground floor. Customers assumes these stores are downstairs because that is where they entered.
On the ground floor, big stores like Canadian Tire is one of the few footprints large enough to steer by. Another row of big stores occupy the upper level (HomeSense and Winners). So although you might enter on the ground floor, your home errand could be upstairs.
Place Versailles Directory Map
Are you walking the entire length of the ground floor looking for a store that wasn’t there? Double check the level first. You might visit a big store and one or two smaller shop for everyday trips, and the map shows if they has shared entrances.
The food listings indicates if it’s a meal or just a counter, and the description let you know beforehand so you don’t promise someone a table. Beauty counters, phone shops and services is scattered down the corridors. There are three different electronics visits: a plan, a repair, and a case. And a salon isn’t a cosmetics aisle you pass en route.
This one is a bit tricky: The mezzanine holds very little. The main floor has a lot more than the mezzanine do. So what do you do? Look for a name on the mezzanine level. That’s your clue that the level button is the one to push.
The thing about the ground floor is that most things is listed there. This means when you get a mezzanine result, it’s all too easy to question whether this is correct or not. And then you don’t find it.
Sherbrooke is a long street. East-end traffic makes the parking choice part of the errand. If you enter at the wrong end of the ground floor, it takes longer to get where you need to go then if you had just walked into the right half of the building.
There’s no need to spend the entire length of the ground floor hunting for an escalator at the other end if the unit is on L2. Look at where the vertical connection is located on the ground floor relative to the pin, and go straight to that half.
Don’t let habit make a weekend browse and a weekday errand use the same entrance. If you’re concerned about walking time, you can use one entrance for browsing homeware upstairs and another for a quick grocery stop on the ground floor. You’ll still be able to move your car, but the directory will help you see that you should of walked more direct.
Search landing on the mezzanine won’t show you a unit that wasn’t there when you went back downstairs to the main floor. A shop, a small food counter, and a service can all share a level and yet be the wrong sort of stop. Read the description.
Tenants’ hours vary and change on holidays, so make sure you confirm the store you are visiting before relying on the drawing. Don’t rely only on that part of the page to find the right door on the right floor. Actually, you should of checked the map more carefuly.
