Streets squares and districts to visit Montreal

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.

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.

One of these places not to be missed, where you feel authentically the breath of history. It was originally the garden of Champlain. When the city developed, the place became one of the most animated markets.

This green square is dominated by the imposing mass of the Château Frontenac. A fountain with a neo-Gothic sculpture occupies the centre. Later, a monument to the glory of Champlain, the founder of Quebec City. It was on this site that Champlain built, in 1620, Fort Saint-Louis, where he died in 1635.

This narrow strip of land, located between the Canadian Shield and the North shore of the St. Lawrence, extends east of Quebec City to Baie-Saint-Paul, where the Charlevoix coast itself begins. It was in view of the green meadows bordering the river that Jacques Cartier said: " What a beautiful meadow! ", hence the origin of the name. This is where, on these fertile lands, Champlain was building its first farm and the settlers established themselves from 1630.

The region, entirely dedicated to the mother of the Virgin, is famous for her pilgrimage to Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré, Mount Sainte-Anne, the most popular winter sports station of Quebecers, and for the beautiful falls of St. Anne Canyon.

This large avenue, which leaves the Saint-Louis gate, in the extension of Saint Louis street, is called the Champs-Elysées in Québec City. It is a succession of offices, shops, hotels, restaurants and coffee terraces where nightlife is taking place.
