Route 1.
A unique way to discover Montreal. Starting with the Notre Dame Basilica, a magnificent Gothic Revival church dating back to 1829. Discover the Chateau Ramezay Museum, a former Governor's residence dating back to the 18th Century.
Montreal City Hall built in 1872 and from its balcony in 1967, French President General de Gaulle uttered his famous words "Vive le Québec libre!" Next on to the Marguerite Bourgeoys Museum, a key site in Old Montreal dating back to 1655. Also, Pierre du Calvet House, built in the 18th Century, this house is one of the most beautiful examples of urban architecture developed in New France. The Marché Bonsecours inaugurated in 1847 was the city's main agricultural marketplace for over a century.
The Centre d'Histoire de Montréal is a charming museum where the history of Montréal starting in 1535 comes to life. Finally, the Quays of the Old Port of Montréal is a 2.5 km long recreational and tourist park which offers a variety of outdoor activities.
The Clock Tower in the Old Port was built in 1922 to commemorate the courage ot the men of the Merchant Fleet who were lost during World War 1. The Montreal Museum fo Archaelogy and History is a national historic site set at the very birthplace of Montreal.
The Montreal Convention Center reveals a colourful facade. And much, more to be discovered and seen along the route.
Route 2 Chinatown - Photojournalistic Tour.
Cheek-by-jowl with downtown Montréal, immense multicoloured archways that hearken back to Imperial China welcome you to our own little slice of Asia. Montréal’s Chinatown provides a welcome change of scene with its pedestrian mall lined with Asian businesses, restaurants and food markets.
Everything works to reinforce the impression of exotic new surroundings: the perfumes of the Orient, the ornate street lights and engraved bronze paving stones that bedeck Rue de La Gauchetière, the park commemorating Sun Yat-Sen, and the pagoda-topped hotel.
