Victoriaville's Carrefour des Bois-Francs is a typical case of older shopping centres being in their death throes. Built for the former Westcliffe company, it was the first real large shopping centre to operate in the Bois-Francs region. It used to be the place to go for shopping, but it lives hard times since the opening of La Grande Place des Bois-Francs, a newer shopping centre where the tenants pay less. The next pictures were taken only 5 days before Christmas and the mall is almost dead. (More contents to follow up.)
