Old Montreal is the oldest area in the city of Montreal, Quebec, Canada, with few remains dating back to New France. Located in the borough of Ville-Marie, the area is bordered on the west by McGill St., on the north by Ruelle des Fortifications, on the east by Rue Saint Andre and on the south by the Saint Lawrence River. Following recent amendments, the district has been expanded slightly to include the rue des Soeurs Grises in the west, Saint Antoine St. in the north and Saint Hubert Street in the east. It also includes the Old Port of Montreal. Most of Old Montreal was declared an historic district in 1964 by the Ministère des Affaires culturelles du Québec.

    Old Montreal reminds me of the old world aka Europe: Paris and its cobblestone streets, the architecture (as a matter of fact, the outside of Notre-Dame Basilica resembles a bit the Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris), the St. Lawrence river can maybe be compared to La Seine. The numerous cafés and patios, street performers, artists also add to the charm of Old Montreal, making it more European-like.

    Le Vieux-Montréal me rappelle le Vieux Monde ou l'Europe: Paris et ses rues en pavé, l'architecture (la façade de la Basilique Notre-Dame ressemble un peu à celle de la Cathédrale Notre-Dame à Paris), le Fleuve St-Laurent pourrait être comparé à La Seine. Il y a aussi les nombres cafés et terraces, artistes dans la rue qui ajoutent au charme du Vieux-Montréal, en lui accordaient des allures davantages européennes.

    It is a very romantic place to be! Walking near the river, or walking by some restaurant in the old fashion city!
