Things to see and do Montreal

Before leading to the St. Lawrence River, the Montmorency River abruptly left the Canadian Shield by a 83 M Fall, the "Montmorency Jump." Although smaller than Niagara Falls, the jump is more than metres higher. Of course, the site has been designed to offer visitors exceptional views (cable car, panoramic staircase, hanging bridge, viewpoints, hiking trails and picnic areas). The fall is even more dramatic in winter when it is frozen and the "sugar bread" has been created, a huge ice cone formed by the crystallization of the suspended water vapour: the latter is in itself a curiosity that always attracts many people. Overlooking the fall, the Montmorency manor house, the elegant villa reconstructed as in the th century, houses an interpretation centre dedicated to the history of the site, a restaurant, a café-bar and shops.

On the north shore of the St. Lawrence, facing the island of Orléans, this basilica, whose first construction dates back to the th century, is dedicated to the Holy Patron of Quebec. The world's oldest pilgrimage place is the world's oldest pilgrimage place, which is easily accessible from the road.

It is a gigantic neo-Gothic building with two clochers, which watches the golden statue of Sainte Anne. Inside, the basilica consists of five huge naves separated by columns with sculpted capitals, and the cradle vault is covered with mosaics depicting the life of Sainte Anne. Its 200 blue-dominated windows illuminate it. This place of remembrance, respected by all Quebeckers, has been very high.

Located rue Saint-Denis, between Sherbrooke Street and Rue des Pins, this is the rendezvous of young people in summer. It is not as "well" attended that in the past century and local residents complain about this noisy wildlife. Created in 1876 at the location of a reservoir, this shaded square surrounded by beautiful, colourful Victorian mansions made the delights of the elegant society and the French Canadian bourgeois elite. Since the 1970 s, artists, writers, musicians have been home to the sector, which has experienced a renewed life since the creation of the Université du Québec à Montréal, rue Saint-Denis.

The 120 years of French rule (1639-1759) in the Ursulines. Paintings, sculptures, furniture and beautiful embroidery performed by them in the th, th and th centuries.

At the foot of the Château Frontenac, a long and wide terrace of wind-washed boards overlooking the St. Lawrence. It offers magnificent views of the Lower Town and the river.
