I grew up in Montreal and will always come back to Montreal.

Part view of downtown Montreal

Might have the bug of travels but still feel privilege to have this city in my blood.
I am Montreal!

Very ecclectic, very american but also, some memories of Europe.

Pretty young in the History of the World.
Founded in 1642 by Sieur Paul de Chomedey de Maisonneuve.
Was inhabited by Native American long time ago.
Now shared between people from all over the world!

Based in a strategic opening into America.
An "incontournable" place to understand the growth of a continent, the development of a new civilization!

Metis population.
All religions represented.
Ancient (well, for us!) and modern architecture next to each other.
An example of how the world should be.

Diversity of food.
Diversity of people.
Diversity of sceneries.
Diversity of ideas.

Make sure to add Montreal on your travel list!
Either white (and grey!) in winter
or
green and colourful in summer

to come visit us!
Great nightlife,
But also plenty of wonderful parks to simply relax.
