Impressions of Vieux Montréal

Vieux Montréal is one of North America’s most remarkable concentrations of 17th-, 18th-, and 19th-century buildings. Beautifully restored, it’s a wonderful place to wander the charming cobblestone streets and alleyways, exploring and discovering its many hidden treasures; outdoor plazas, art galleries, boutiques, restaurants, and sidewalk cafes. Rue Saint Paul, for example, is Montreal’s oldest street with cobblestones dating back to 1672.
