We walked there from our hotel on Mansfield. It took about 45 minutes and the day was one of the most beautiful I've ever seen. Late summer in the northeast produces a incomparable quality of daytime light, in my opinion. Maybe it's the angle of the sun? I don't know that the photos capture it but they will have to tell the tale.
The walk down Atwater towards the market:
You can see the market building from the train when you're coming into Mtl:
You can also see the Canal... 
This shot looks from the Canal back towards the market and Atwater - you can't really see it but the Mountain is ahead.
Now for the food!
We ate liberally from numerous stalls scarfing food as quickly it was handed to us. While I didn't get any good shots of the flower stands, they were incredibly numerous for a northern market and the product was unbelievably fresh and beautiful. What struck me most, other than the tremendous quality of everything, was the abundance of flowers.
