Montreal
Montréal is the largest city in Québec. Predominantly
French-speaking, it’s set on an island in the Saint Lawrence
River and named after Mt. Royal, the triple-peaked hill at its
heart. Its 19 boroughs, many of which were once
independent cities, include neighbourhoods from
cobblestoned, French colonial Vieux-Montréal – with
imposing Notre-Dame Basilica at its centre – to industrial
Sud-Ouest and artist-friendly Plateau.
