Introduction to

Montréal
Montréal is by far Canada’s most cosmopolitan city.
Toronto may have the country’s economic power and
Vancouver its most majestic scenery, but the centuries-
old marriage of Protestant English and Catholic French
cultures that defines Montréal has given the city a
dynamic allure that is unique in North America. Its
captivating atmosphere combines the best of both
traditions, tempered with the Scottish merchants and Irish
workers who built much of the city and also the diverse
mix of Italians, Greeks, Eastern Europeans, Jews, Chinese
and Portuguese who have put down roots in various
neighbourhoods over the last century. And yet Montréal’s
free-spirited ambience – at once laid-back and highly
style-conscious – is a product of the city itself rather than
merely a sum of its multiethnic parts.

Ever since the French first flew the flag here in


the 1600s, the struggle for the city’s soul has cen-
tred on – and largely set apart – its English and
French factions. As such, Montréal has always been
a pivotal player in the tense politics of Québec
separatism, which reached its lowest point in
the late 1960s, when the Front de Libération du Québec waged a terrorist
campaign on the city. This occurred in the wake of legislation that enshrined
French-language dominance in Québec, causing English-Quebecers to flee in
droves, tipping the nation’s economic supremacy from Montréal to Toronto.
 After decades of linguistic dispute, though, a truce appears to have at last settled
in, and nowadays it’s hard to believe that little more than a decade ago a
 The illuminated Hôtel de Ville narrowly failed 1995 referendum
on separation transformed the

| INTRODUCTION | WHAT TO S E E | W HE N TO GO
city into a pitched battlefield over
linguistic and territorial rights.
It seems virtually everyone can
speak French, while the younger
generation of Francophones also
speak l’anglais – certainly a bless-
ing for English-speaking visitors,
who should have no problem finding someone who speaks the language.
The duality of Montréal’s social mix is also reflected in its urban make-up.
Sandwiched between the banks of the St Lawrence River and the forested,
trail-covered rise of Mont Royal (233m high, but a “mountain” in the minds
of Montrealers) the heart of the city is an engaging melange of old- and new-
world aesthetics. Busy Downtown, with its wide boulevards lined by sleek office
towers and rambling shopping malls, is emblematic of a typical North American
metropolis, while just to the south,Vieux-Montréal preserves the city’s unmis-
takable French heritage in its layout of narrow, cobblestone streets and town
squares. Closer investigation belies both these cliches, however, for there are
charming nineteenth-century churches dotted about Downtown, while the
bulk of Vieux-Montréal’s buildings are actually the fruits of the Anglophone
merchant class that made its fortunes off the country’s plentiful natural resources
and later during the Industrial Revolution, when the nearby Lachine Canal was
“Canada’s Pittsburgh”. Ironically, the impetus for the canal – the Lachine Rapids
in the St Lawrence River – was the reason for the city’s early success in the first
place: Montréal was as far as ships could travel into the interior, and so became
a major port and trading centre.
It’s the street-level vibe that makes
Montréal such a great place to visit. Like
the homegrown Cirque du Soleil, Mon-
tréal has a ceaseless and contagious ener-
gy that infuses its café culture, the thrill-
ing, into-the-wee-hours nightlife and the
boisterous summer festivals – celebrating
jazz, comedy, music and film. Nowhere
captures the city’s free-spirited ethos
better than Plateau Mont-Royal, the
trendiest neighbourhood in town and
effective meeting-point of Montréal’s
founding and immigrant cultures. Here,

to historic muse-
ums as well as the
delicately steepled
Chapelle Notre-
Dame-de-Bon-
Secours and
the silver-domed
Marché Bonse-
cours, one of the city’s best-known landmarks. In the district’s southwest
corner, the excellent Musée d’Archéologie provides a good introduction
to Montréal’s three and a half centuries of history, while the reclaimed
land of the Vieux-Port, running the length of Vieux-Montréal along the
St Lawrence River, is lined with promenades, parks and a number of har-
bourfront attractions.
Between Vieux-Montréal and the mountain, you’ll find Montréal’s mod-
ern Downtown, centred on the east–west artery rue Ste-Catherine,
and filled with a collection of department stores, hotels, restaurants and
cinemas. Nearby, the scaled-down (but still massive) rendition of St Peter’s
– the Basilique-Cathédrale Marie-Reine-du-Monde – as well as the
warm-hued interior of St Patrick’s Basilica contrast with the more
sober Protestant churches dotted about. Although no longer the tallest of
Montréal’s skyscrapers, the cross-shaped Place Ville Marie seems to tower
over the city; it sits atop the shopping mall that began the Underground
City’s (RÉSO) network of pedestrian tunnels linking the Métro system
to shopping centres, offices and cultural institutions. The foremost example
of the latter is the complex of theatres that, along with the Musée d’Art
Contemporain de Montréal, comprises Place des Arts, half a dozen
blocks east of Place Ville Marie.
The west end of Downtown overlaps the Golden Square Mile, the his-
toric enclave of Montréal’s wealthy Anglophone elite, which clings to the
southern slopes of the mountain. This neighbourhood’s contributions to
the city include a number of sumptuous mansions and such public institu-
tions as McGill University and the Musée des Beaux-Arts facing onto
rue Sherbrooke, the premier address for upscale galleries and boutiques.
By contrast, the eastern edges of Downtown are marked by the small yet
bustling Chinatown and the bars and cafés of the Quartier Latin, stomp- 

ing ground of students from the Université du Québec à Montréal. A

The Plateau
Mont-Royal dis-
trict on the moun-
tain’s eastern flank
mixes Montréal’s
typically down-to-earth quality with hip style and ethnic charm. The
largely Francophone neighbourhoods of the Plateau lie to the east of the
chic boutiques and cafés of rue St-Denis – ideal for people-watching
– while a panoply of ethnic businesses and trendy restaurants are clus-
tered on and around boulevard St-Laurent, more commonly known as
“The Main”. Rising above Downtown but best accessed from the Plateau,
Parc du Mont-Royal is the city’s largest park, wound about with trails
and terrific views over the city. The Oratoire St-Joseph and its massive
dome rise above the western flank of the mountain, while to the north,
a pair of vast cemeteries give way to tony, Francophone Outremont
and the Greek and Jewish communities of Mile End. Further north
still, Little Italy is a major foodie destination, as much for its espresso
and Italian dishes as for the enticing produce stalls and gourmet shops
surrounding the Marché Jean-Talon.
Some of Montréal’s chief tourist attractions are a bit far from the centre,
but remain easily accessed via the Métro. In the city’s east end, the Stade
Olympique, with its unique inclined tower, lies between the Biodôme,

Franglais
Despite Québec’s linguistic battles, there’s often a great deal of cross-
over between English and French and it’s not uncommon to hear
Montrealers switching from one to the other in the course of a single
conversation. Francophones and Anglophones have also each picked up
words and phrases from the other’s language – a combination of French
and anglais dubbed “franglais”. So while you might hear a Montréalais
say something like, “Je suis allé à un party ce weekend – c’était full fun”,
it’s no less natural for a Montrealer to throw in French expressions while
making plans for the evening: “Let’s try to grab a seat on the terrasse for
 the cinq à sept before heading to that new resto on the Plateau – we’ll
need to grab a bottle of wine at the dep along the way, though.”

ontréal’s climate is one
of extremes – bone-
chilling winter tem-
peratures morph into
sweaty summer highs with barely
an iota of spring to ease the tran-
sition.Though tourist authorities
are fond of minimizing the true extent of the city’s winters, the season is in fact
bitterly cold; temperatures often fall well below the zero mark and snowfalls
don’t dust the city – they bury it. Though a boon for avid skiers and snow-
boarders, the period between November and April can be positively grim for
everyone else. That said, if you’re here during a cold snap, the labyrinthine
Underground City (RÉSO) provides an escape from the elements and spend-
ing the afternoon tucked inside a cozy café is a wonderful antidote.
The transition from winter to summer passes almost unnoticed, and locals
quickly replace their complaints about the cold to gripes about the humidity.
The population seems to double come summer as the city’s residents come out
of hibernation; still, despite the heat and the crowds, late June through August
is one of the best times to visit, thanks in part to a rotating menu of wild fes-
tivals. Likewise, Montréal can be simply glorious during the autumn months.
Though it’s cooler in the evenings, the days remain quite warm and, best of all,
the changing leaves set the city ablaze with bursts of yellows, oranges and reds.
Indeed, the season is perfect for hikers as the provincial parks resonate with
colour, though traipsing up Mont Royal can be just as splendid.

It’s not possible to see everything that Montréal has to offer


in one trip – and we don’t suggest you try. What follows is
a selective taste of the city’s highlights: memorable restaurants,
lively festivals, engaging museums and exciting outdoor activities.
They’re arranged in five colour-coded categories to help you find
the very best things to see, do and experience. All entries have a
