MONTRÉAL
★★★
Montreal is the second-largest French-speaking city in the world after Paris.
A multicultural centre whose French accent mingles with those of some 80
other ethnic communities, Montreal charms the visitor with its combination
of Old-World charm and North American energy. The downtown centre
teems with life at the foot of the mountain, while the city’s history is deeply
rooted in the old neighborhoods near the river. And you don’t need a rental
car to discover its charms: Montreal can be easily visited on foot.
