 View from Mont Royal by GUYON
The park is very large and you have to climb by stairs to reach the belvedere.
Behind the belvedere, there is the Chalet, a nice 19° Century building. Leave a Comment

An extinct volcano from which the city takes its name (Mont-Real), presides over the south center of the island and is the city’s dominant physical feature. The best way to experience the area is to hike the walking paths that lead from the foot of the mountain through Mont-Royal Park. They offer fine views of downtown and the river. The park’s Beaver Lake (no beavers) functions as an ice-skating rink in the winter and as a nice place for picnicking in the summer (swimming is not allowed). Mount Royal is also the site of the 100-ft/30-m steel cross that, when lit at night, is visible for miles.
On the northern slope of the mountain is St. Joseph’s Oratory, a massive basilica with a copper dome. The site has many of the qualities of Old World Catholicism: Pilgrims go there seeking cures and inspiration, and the heart of Brother Andre, a healer who first proposed the basilica, is on display in the museum.

Les TAM TAM du Mont-Royal. During the summer, each Sunday, a huge amount of persons gatter at the bottom of Mount-Royal. A lot of persons are there and play the drums, so you can enjoy their music. You can just sit there and enjoy the sun, or there are a bunch of artisans (does that word exist?!?) who are sell there works (necklaces, rings, etc.) It is kind of a hippie gattering, a lot of persons a there to smoke a good joint, but no one will look at you in a weird way, whatever your type is!
You MUST try to go at the TAM TAM on a Sunday. It's unique to Montreal and it is a great time. You also will have a chance to meet all sort of people! Leave a Comment

Go to the Tam-Tams if you're going in the summer. The Tam-Tams are a culural event held every Sunday. People head off to Mount Royal at the statue and jam with african drums, whistles, flutes. They dance. It's a great place if you want to veg out on the grass in the sun after a night of partying. Just take the metro and get off at Mont Royal station. Head up the mountain. Follow the people walking around with drums, they'll lead you to it!!!! Leave a Comment

 Beaver Lake by Simonneeddy

Visiting Beaver Lake on the top of Mount Royal seen in the picture. In the heart of Montreal we have a National Park which comprises the whole top of the mountain. This PARK will celebrate 125 years of existence this year. It was designed by the same architect that designed CENTRAL PARK IN NEW YORK CITY. Leave a Comment
