Montréal

The Vibrant Cultural Capital of French Canada

The island of Montréal has earned an international reputation as a first-class, cosmopolitan city; having hosted the World at Expo 67 and the 1976 Summer Olympics.

Originally founded as a fur trading post on the banks of the St. Lawrence River, modern day Montréal has a wonderful mix of cultural, physical and historical activities for student travelers.

Below the pulse of St. Catherine Street, the main thoroughfare, you will find one of Montréal's unique attractions: the Underground City. This vast series of inter-connected tunnels allows its residents to escape the winter cold and boasts some of the best shopping in the city.

Upon crossing rue St. Antoine, you will feel as though you've stepped back in time. At first glance, the Old Port appears to be a recreation of the 17th century settlement; replete with period architecture and narrow, cobblestoned streets. But a short exploration on foot will uncover many unique attractions and the best dinning in the city.

Traversing Montréal's distinct neighbourhoods (Mont Royal, Quartier Latin, Old Port, etc…) is a breeze with the help of the Metro; Montréal's subway system.

No visit to Montréal would be complete without a tour of the Bell Centre: the storied home of the Canadiens: 24 time Stanley Cup Champions.

A visit to the cultural centre of French Canada will allow your group to put their second language learning into practice and gain a greater appreciation of our country's diverse character.
