Montreal holidays. Overlooking the mighty St Lawrence River and completely surrounded by water, Montreal is the world’s second largest French speaking city after Paris.
In 1535 Jacques Cartier, the French explorer, first laid eyes on the spectacular island that would become Montreal. And French-style elegance, cuisine and fashion is still very much in evidence today. Full of Latin ambience, “joie de vivre”, open-air cafés and avant-garde boutiques, the city has a superb reputation for fine food and a lively nightlife.
Today Montreal’s historic buildings and cobblestone streets are a reminder of the city’s fur trading past while gleaming modern towers and the city’s unique underground pedestrian network reflect more recent glory.
