    It was a cold winter morning as we strolled through the old town. Everything was still closed, and it was nice to window shop without a soul insight! Not too much to do here, as it was the middle of winter, but you should visit. Here I am in the main square, called Place Jacques Cartier.

    Explore Vieux-Montreal with all historic sights around the Place Jacques-Cartier, which is the gathering and street entertainment site in the area.
    Put a special emphasis on the Notre-Dame Basilica (see photo) with the Sacred Heart Chapel.
    But also the City Hall from 1878 and the Bonsecours Market as a bustling marketplace with shops and exhibitions are worth a visit.

    Go to Old Montreal (METRO Place d'Armes) and walk around. The city is faboulous for walking in any season. There are many new boutique hotels (Gault Hotel, Hotel Nelligan, Hotel Saint-Paul, Hotel Saint-James) in Old Montreal and the area is seeing a veritable renaissance. Lots of good restos as well. Check out the Notre-Dame Basilica at Place d'Armes.....the most beautiful blue interior.

    When I am away from my home I miss the openess, the acceptance, the freedom and the joie de vivre in the city. I miss the people. Oh yeah, and I miss the bagels :-)

    Old Port promenade view from

    by Reverend
    Send Photo to a Friend
    This is a view of the promenade along the Old Port with Bonsecours Market and the Jacques Cartier bridge in the background.

    In summertime this is a very popular area for both locals and tourists. Usually constant activity going on and lots of family-friendly things to do (Montreal Science Center, Imax theatre, Bonsecour basin, etc.) Also where tickets for river cruises and riding the Lachine rapids can be bought.

    Beautiful area on a summer afternoon or evening, like this one in mid-August.

    This is the view of the downtown skyline from the Jacques Cartier Pier down at the Old Port. One of the better places to appreciate both the splendid old and new architecture of the city.

  • Just south of St. Catherine Street, and also on the Metro, you can reach Old Montreal, or Vieux Montreal. An old French section of the city, which still has the original narrow cobble-stone streets, just like in Europe. You will find older buildings that have been preserved and upgraded. You will find charming shops, and the best French restaurants, many where you can sit on the sidewalk cafe and watch the sights and sounds of Montreal pass by. You will find Notre Dame Cathedral, the famous gothic Cathedral where Celine Dion (she's ours) was married. You can also take a Caleche ride, that's a Horse-drawn carriage ride through Old Montreal. During the day, or at night, the street lights and old-world charm make Vieux Montreal a must see experience.

    climb the clocktower (Tour d'Horloge). From here there is a great view over the Vieux Port with the skyscrapers of downtown in the background, and in the other direction, the St Laurent River and Ile Sainte-Helene.
