Montreal

The beautiful offspring of a union between European charm and North American attitude, Montréal’s architecture seduces the visitors with a harmonious chorus of the ancient and the new.

Once home the First Nations people, this island gem on the magnificent St. Lawrence River in time saw travellers from far and wide land on its shores before becoming a bustling port city. The French colonists were the first to arrive, followed by the English, The Scottish and the Irish. Later, myriad peoples from around the word settled the lush swaths stretching up to Mount Royal.

Today, 80 distinct ethic communities are represented in its population of more than 3.6 million, making Montréal a veritable mosaic of cultures and traditions.
