French-speaking metropolis in
North America, is
Canada's most romantic metropolis,
Québec's largest city, and an important port and financial centre and has a population of more that 3 million people.
Its North American skyline is a typically
North-American bustle of glass and concrete rises above churches and monuments in a mixture of
European styles as varied as Montréal's
social mix. Montréal is the second largest city in
Canada but is still able to hold on to the character of a smaller town. With its rich history and French culture,
Montréal is a mixture of old and new. The city has a thriving art community and is renowned for putting on
spectacular festivals. As a unique city to all others in North America, visitors to Montréal will be delighted with
what they find.
