Montreal is an island in the St. Lawrence River with Mont Royal at its heart. Scattered throughout and around the city are both historic architecture and modern structures that give the city a unique look. (1997,98,2002) |
| The Notre Dame de Montreal Cathedral looks grand and solemn on the outside while the inside shines brightly with an unbelievable display of blue and gold . Down the south side of the island run the Lachine Canals which hold a very popular set of bike and pedestrian trails. St. Joseph's Oratory is a popular pilgrimage site whose journey includes a crawl along a stairway up the hill. Mont Royal gave the city its name and is a popular park with an overlook of the city. Here is the Lac aux Castors that is a popular skating site in winter. The 1976 Olympics still bear a mark on the city including the "high tech" stadium seen here. |
