Montreal Holidays
Overlooking the mighty St Lawrence River and 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 this spectacular island. French-style elegance, cuisine and fashion is very much in evidence today. Full of Latin ambience, open-air cafés and avant-garde boutiques the city has fine food and nightlife. Historic buildings and cobblestone streets are a reminder of the city’s fur trading past while gleaming modern towers reflect more recent glory.
