welcome!
Welcome to Montréal!
An international city recognized for its major festivals and culinary
arts, Montréal offers a multitude of excellent cultural, sporting,
and outdoor activities all year round. During your stay, you will
notice that Montréal is also a city that is on the move, one that is
evolving. We are working to both highlight the city’s rich heritage,
and to place it firmly in the 21st century. Place d’Armes and the
Quartier des spectacles attest eloquently to this endeavour. These
are all good reasons to visit, or to come back to Montréal!
Gérald Tremblay
Mayor of Montréal
Expressing itself equally as well in the language of Molière as in
that of Shakespeare, Montréal is a place where happiness and
contentment come easily, and whose long list of festivals make
the city shine even more brightly on the international stage. The
diversity and the richness of its fine cuisine, its large, abundant
green spaces and its respect for the environment produce an
exceptional quality of life, recognized unanimously by residents
and visitors alike.
Warm, welcoming, gourmet and sophisticated, Montréal has it
all; you won’t be able to resist its many attractions.
Welcome to Montréal!
The Honourable Charles Lapointe, P.C.
President and CEO

Montréal’s downtown scene is a bustling study in contrasts.
Witness the Victorian brownstones that nuzzle skyscrapers,
while the latest architectural marvels soar beside stately
neo-Gothic churches. The stores, museums, galleries,
restaurants and green spaces present a moving canvas peopled
with the 9-5 crowd, students, locals and tourists. When night

as friends congregate for after-work cocktails on terraces, in
bars, or at the city’s many festivals that fill the air with their
resounding notes.

www.quartierlatin.ca
The Quartier latin was the first home of
Montréal's francophone middle class. Attracted
by the proximity of the École Polytechnique and
the Université Laval in Montréal, they began settling into the neighbourhood early in the 19th century. The displacement of educational institutions
to Mount Royal, however, had an adverse effect on
the neighbourhood, and it wasn't until the 1960s,
with the creation of the Université du Québec à
Montréal (UQAM) and the Collège du VieuxMontréal, the building of the métro, and a resurgence of cultural and commercial activity, that the
Quartier latin was reborn. The UQAM campus
(1430 Saint-Denis Street • www.uqam.ca) incorporates a number of heritage buildings, of which the
most visible is the bell tower of the Église SaintJacques. The campus also includes a gallery
whose programming is mainly devoted to contemporary art (1400 Berri Street, Local J-R120 •
www.galerie.uqam.ca • Tuesday to Saturday,
noon to 6 p.m.) and a centre of design, dedicated
to architectural, industrial, graphic, and fashion
design (1440 Sanguinet Street • Wednesday to
Sunday, noon to 6 p.m. • www.centrededesign.com).
Saint-Denis Street, the Quartier latin's main thoroughfare, provides a unique example of mid-19th
century Victorian-style urban architecture and
is home to over 100 restaurants, cafés, bistros,
and shops.

Stepping
back in time
There is no place more conducive to a dreamy step back in time than
the romantic district of Old Montréal. Its cobblestone streets have witnessed the passage of time for more than 360 years. Today, art galleries, artisans' boutiques, terraces, and cafés conduct business within
the walls of these gracious 18th and 19th century buildings. Dusk
enhances the area, as strategic lighting brings out the loveliness of
these old stone facades even further. Nearby, in the Old Port, cyclists,
joggers, and in-line skating enthusiasts of all ages enjoy the generous
recreational paths year-round.

This building went up between 1872 and 1878, and

uttered his famous "Vive le Québec libre!" (Long
live free Québec) during a state visit in 1967.
Visitors can take a moment to admire the Hall of
Honour or, better yet, sign up for a guided tour.
Behind the City Hall, the two lines of stone running across the Champ-de-Mars are one of the
few spots in present-day Montréal where physical
evidence of the fortified town of yesteryear is still

Originally built at the end of the 17th century,
Place d'Armes was remodeled in 2011. Its surrounding buildings represent significant moments
in the history of Montréal. Since 1895, a statue of
Paul de Chomedey, "Sieur de Maisonneuve", the
founder of Montréal, has stood in the centre of the
44
square. Not far is the city’s oldest building, the
"Vieux Séminaire" (130 Notre-Dame Street West),
erected between 1684 and 1687, by the Messrs of
Saint-Sulpice who ran the Notre-Dame parish and
were "seigneurs" of the island of Montréal for
nearly two centuries. This historical structure is a
prime example of institutional architecture in New
France. The clock, which dates back to 1701, is
possibly the oldest of its kind in North America.
On the north side of the square sits the Bank of
Montréal (119 Saint-Jacques Street West), which
was founded in 1817. It is the oldest banking institution in Canada. The Bank of Montréal Museum
is open to the public.

offers a stunning synthesis of history. An obelisk
on the site recalls its first pioneers. On the south
side, between Normand and Saint-Pierre Streets,
you can see the former hospital of the Grey Nuns,
part of which dates back to 1693. Buildings from
the 1870s and the beginning of the 20th century

Île Notre-Dame. Every summer and winter, Montrealers come by bike,
car, subway, boat, and on their rollerblades, either to relax on the
beach, enjoy the shady trails, have a picnic, attend an outdoor show
or sports competition, or experience the thrilling rides at the large
amusement park complex, La Ronde. After Expo 67 which was held
here, the park retained a few of the exposition pavilions, including
those belonging to France and Quebec which ultimately became the
venue for the Casino de Montréal in the 1990s.

Meet
the locals
The best way to learn more of the city's neighbourhoods and
its residents is by bike or on foot. Engaging and gregarious,
Montrealers are only too happy to provide you with suggestions,
from food and fun to a favourite path or grocery store. It's while
walking through the streets of Little Italy, Plateau Mont-Royal,
and Hochelaga-Maisonneuve that you'll get a true feel for the
places and faces of this multi-layered city.
Mount Royal and Surroundings
Jewel of greenery in the heart of the city, Mount
Royal was named by Jacques Cartier in 1535, but
locals now affectionately refer to it as "the
Mountain". Formally inaugurated in 1876, the
park has since become the preferred viewing spot
for nature lovers, bird watchers, and sports
enthusiasts of all ages. Mount Royal is crisscrossed with numerous paths and offers superb
lookout points with breathtaking views across the
region. On its slopes are two of the city's oldest
cemeteries, the campuses of two universities, as
well as Saint Joseph's Oratory, which welcomes
thousands of tourists and Montrealers annually.

Inaugurated in 1876, Mount Royal Park was
designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, the landscape architect behind New York's Central Park.
It is an ideal site for admiring a wide variety of
plants and birds or for enjoying outdoor activities.

of the spacious interior of the Mount Royal Chalet,
inaugurated in 1932, are adorned with paintings
tracing the history of Montréal. The Kondiaronk
scenic lookout in front of the chalet offers a striking view of the downtown area and the river.
Erected in 1924, the cross atop Mount Royal commemorates January 6, 1643, when Maisonneuve,
Montréal's founder, kept his promise to carry a
wooden cross to the summit of Mount Royal if the
young colony survived flooding. The cross is 30
metres (98 feet) high and is illuminated at night.

been the home of the Greek community, its
restaurants, and pastry shops. Alongside du Parc
Avenue lies Jeanne-Mance Park, named in honour of the founder of Montréal's first hospital,
Hôtel-Dieu de Montréal. The park, originally a
racetrack until 1820, has always been a great
location for different leisure, sporting and cultural
activities. Just across from Jeanne-Mance Park,
on the slopes of Mount Royal, is the site of the

observation, and tours of an ecological farm or a

Montréal is an outdoor activity paradise throughout four very distinctive
seasons. It is also synonymous with water, the mountain, and exceptional
parks and green spaces. It offers superb facilities for sailing, kayaking,
rafting, swimming and more. Hundreds of kilometres of paths designed
for biking, cross-country skiing and snow-shoeing await visitors. It is hardly
surprising that tens of thousands of enthusiasts flock to the city each year to
attend such major events as The Montréal Bike Fest and the Marathon Oasis.

WHERE TO GO OUT
Downtown
With its bars, clubs, restaurants and discotheques, Crescent Street is witness to round-the-clock action.
Meanwhile, at the heart of the Quartier latin, colourful crowds gather in the busy micro-breweries and
bars along Saint-Denis and Ontario Streets.
Old Montréal
Chansonniers belt out folk tunes from bars along Saint-Paul Street, while supper clubs offer gentler
interludes. Seductive lounges beckon from boutique hotels – part of a night fabric that leaves no room
for ennui.
Plateau Mont-Royal
With its mega concentration of bars and clubs in which to see and be seen, the Plateau is the preferred
playing field for Montréal’s “in” crowd. There are the colourful terraces that dot Saint-Denis Street
and a unique selection of “watering holes” along Mont-Royal too. Late night spots both tried and new,
line Saint-Laurent Boulevard, where locals and visitors alike who live for the night, are well served.
The Village
Lounges, bars, boîtes, afterhours clubs, and female impersonators are all part of the Village entertainment
scene. Montréal’s gay community is notorious for its insatiable party appetites. No wonder its reputation has
garnered international notice.

Campground classification
The Conseil de Développement du Camping au Québec (CDCQ) is responsible for applying the rating program for camping
establishments. This program rates both the quality of the establishment’s facilities and its offerings in terms of services
and activities. As such, campgrounds are rated on a scale of 1 to 5 stars and are evaluated every other year. Note that this
rating program has been mandatory since 2004 in accordance with government regulations.
To know more about the campground rating program and the definitions of the various rating levels, call the CDCQ at
514 252-3333 or visit the Web site: www.campingquebec.com
