“Between the St. Lawrence River and its tributary...a lovely plateau...is situated...amid grasslands...with birds of many different colours whose songs tamed our French peoplein this wilderness.”

Montréal’s fi rst historian, François Dollier de Casson compiled his Histoire du Montréal between 1672 and 1673, from which this description of the site on which Montréal was built (present-day Pointe-à-Callière) is taken.

Montréal In Due Time

One Day

To get a taste of Québec’s metropolis, head to Vieux-Montréal for a stroll along Rue Saint-Paul, a charming cobblestone street that is lined with art galleries; visit the Basi-lique Notre-Dame, a masterpiece of Gothic Revival architecture, and the Centre d’Histoire de Montréal, to learn more about the origins of Ville-Marie. Toast the Happy Hour in one of the Quartier International’s happening bars, then head to lively Rue Sainte-Cath-erine, the city’s famous shopping mecca. Finally, if you’d like to discover the artists who’ve made their mark on Canadian art, you can visit the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts and the Musée d’Art Contemporain.

Two Days

A two-day stay means you’ll get to dine at least once in one of the city’s many re-nowned restaurants. Make sure you head up “The Main” to take in the colourful and eclectic crowd that provides the city with much of its cosmopolitan spirit. You can follow this up with a trek down the residential lanes and lively Avenue du Mont-Royal of the Plateau Mont-Royal neighbourhood, the perfect introduction to Francophone Montréal. Next, set your sights on the city’s green lung, Mount Royal Park, for a breath-taking view of the city. Devout Catholics and architecture buffs can visit the Oratoire Saint-Joseph, one of the most visited religious sites in all of Canada.

One Week

Once you’ve explored all of the above attractions, you can set some time aside to vis-it two of the city’s well-to-do areas. First up is Westmount, a primarily English-speaking city within the city that features attractive Neo-Tudor residences that provide the area with an undeniably British fl avour. Next is the Francophone counterpart to West-mount, Outremont, whose commercial arteries, lined with gourmet shops and fashion boutiques, border the the city’s latest boho-hip district: Mile-End.

If architectural feats are what you’re looking for, you can climb to the top of the world’s highest leaning tower at the Olympic Stadium: once up top, you’ll marvel at the view of eastern Montréal and the famous Jacques-Cartier Bridge. The Botanical Garden and the Biodôme, both also located right by in the Hochelaga-Maisonneuve district, offer a fascinating look at our natural world thanks to their faithful replicas of various ecosystems, theme gardens and exhibition greenhouses.

Both the western part of the island and the Old Port are perfect for cyclists: you can rent a bike and visit the shores of the Lachine Canal, the birthplace of Canadian indus-try, or Île Sainte-Hélène and Île Notre-Dame, whose stunning Biosphère, a geodesic dome that features an environmental observation centre, can be seen from afar.

Both Latin and Nordic, European and North American, cosmo-politan and metropolitan, the largest French-speaking city in the world after Paris and bilingual hub, Montréal is defi nitely

an exceptional city. Visitors to the city appreciate it for many different reasons; it succeeds in delighting American tourists with its European charm and also manages to surprise overseas travellers thanks to its haphazard character and nonchalance. Above all, Montréal holds nothing back and visitors often fi nd what they are looking for without having to search too far.

Montréal is a city that exists in a balance between several different worlds: fi rmly planted in America yet looking towards Europe, claimed by two lands, Québec and Canada, and always, it seems, in the midst of social, economic and demographic changes.

It is diffi cult to defi ne this city, especially since no postcard or cliché truly succeeds in evoking an image of it that is realistic or honest. If Paris has its grand boulevards and squares, New York its skyscrapers and celebrated Statue of Liberty, what best symbolizes Montréal? Its numerous and beautiful churches, its Olympic Stadium, or its opulent Victorian residences?

Despite Montréal’s rich architectural heritage, it is above all its unique, engaging atmosphere that appeals to people. Montréal is an enchanting city to visit and an exhilarating place to discover; it is generous, friendly and not at all mundane.

And when the time comes to celebrate jazz, fi lm, comedy, francophone singers or Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day, hundreds of thousands of people fl ood into the streets, turn-ing events into warm public gatherings. There is no doubt that Montréal is a big city that has managed to keep its human touch. For while its towering glass-and-concrete silhouette gives it the appearance of a North-American metropolis, Montréal has trouble hiding the fact that it is primarily a city of small streets and unique neigh-bourhoods, each with its own church, businesses, restaurants, and bars—in short, its own personality, shaped over the years by the arrival of people from all corners of the globe.

Elusive and mysterious, Montréal is nevertheless genuine, and is as mystical for those who experience it on a daily basis as it is for visitors immersed in it for only a few days.

GeographyTo fully understand Montréal’s role in the history of the American continent, one must fi rst look at the amazing assets of its location. Situated on an island in the St. Lawrence River, the main entry point to the American Northeast, Montréal stands on a spot where maritime traffi c encounters its fi rst major obstacle, the Lachine Rapids. Blocking all navigation, the rapids once forced navigators to stop in Montréal if they wished to travel any further on the river.

From an economic standpoint, this geographical quirk gave the site, both in Native times and during the French and British regimes, an undeniable advantage: that of being the fi rst mandatory transhipment site on the river. Nature therefore irrevocably chose Montréal’s vocation by making it the entrance to a vast territory and, con-sequently, a commercial crossroads for the whole continent.

15Blue Montréal

The island of Montréal is formed by the St. Lawrence River and the Rivière des Prai-ries, which fl ows into the St. Lawrence at the eastern tip of the island. These two magnifi cent rivers are well known for the many islands that dot their waters.

Between Lac Saint-Louis, at the western tip of the island, and the Pointe-aux-Trem-bles neighbourhood in the east, the St. Lawrence River, which fl ows to the Atlantic Ocean, runs along the southern shore of the island. In the LaSalle borough, it sud-denly transforms into the tumultuous Lachine rapids.

Between Lac des Deux Montagnes, at the western tip of the island, and the Rivière-des-Prairies district, in the east, the Rivière des Prairies runs along the northern shore of the island. Its fl ow is controlled by the Rivière-des-Prairies hydroelectric power plant, in the Sault-au-Récollet sector.

In addition, several bridges for cars and trains, as well as the Louis-Hippolyte-La Fontaine tunnel, link the island of Montréal to Île Jésus and the regions of Montérégie and Lanaudière. Two métro tunnels also link the island to its two largest neighbour-ing cities, Laval to the north and Longueuil to the south.

Green Montréal

All around the island of Montréal, part of the St. Lawrence’s and the Rivière des Prairies’ shores have been, for the past few years, converted into green spaces. These public riverside parks, known as nature parks, are a great addition to the vast urban parks and multitude of small parks that are found in each of the island’s neighbour-hoods.

The most well-known and visible of Montréal’s big parks is Mount Royal Park, whose spectacular size, right in the middle of the island, is defi nitely eye catching. All year long, city dwellers climb “the mountain” for fun, to enjoy the view it offers from its lookouts, or simply to keep fi t.

A blend of untamed and domesticated nature, the Montréal Botanical Garden, one of the largest in the world, is located in the central eastern part of the island and welcomes both visitors and a wide array of bird species throughout the year. For its part, the Morgan Arboretum, a huge forest preserve located in the western part of the island, is home to various wild animals, including mammals, reptiles, amphibians and birds, in addition to majestic trees.

History

Origins

Before the regional balance was disrupted by the arrival of European explorers, what is known today as the island of Montréal was inhabited by the Iroquois nation. This people had probably recognized the location’s exceptional qualities, which enabled it to fl ourish by dominating the St. Lawrence valley and by playing the role of com-mercial intermediary for the entire region.

16In 1535 and 1541, Jacques Cartier, a navigator from Saint-Malo in the service of the king of France, became the fi rst European to briefl y explore the island. He took the opportunity to climb the mountain rising out of its centre, which he christened Mont Royal. (Following Jacques Cartier’s 1535 voyage, an Italian named Giovanni Battista Ramusio, born in 1485, analyzed Cartier’s discoveries and published Delle Navigationo et Viaggi in 1556, a work that included a map, called La Terra de Hochelaga nella Nova Francia, of the Mount Royal region, which he translated in Italian as Monte Real, the origins of “Montréal.”)

In his ship’s log, Cartier also mentioned a short visit to a large Aboriginal village ap-parently located on the side of the mountain. Inhabited by approximately 1,500 Iro-quois, this village consisted of about 50 large dwellings protected by a high wooden palisade. All around, the villagers cultivated corn, squash and beans, thus meeting most of the dietary needs of their sedentary population. Unfortunately, Cartier left only a partial and sometimes contradictory account of this community, so that even today, the exact location of the village, as well as the name by which the Iroquois referred to it (Hochelaga or Tutonaguy), remain unknown.

Another enduring mystery that still gives rise to much speculation is the astonishing and quick disappearance of this village after Cartier’s visits. Some 70 years later, in 1603, when Samuel de Champlain travelled through the region, he found no trace of the Iroquoian community described by Cartier. The most popular hypothesis is that the Aboriginal people of the island of Montréal had fallen victim to trade rivals and fi nally been driven away from the island.

Champlain, the founder of New France, took an interest in the location’s potential. In 1611, just three years after founding Québec City, he ordered that an area be cleared on the island. He viewed this spot, named Place Royale, as the starting point of a new colony or an outpost for the fur trade.

The project had to be postponed, however, since at the time the French, allied with the Algonquin and Huron, had to cope with attacks by the Five Nations of the Iro-quois Confederacy. Supported by the merchants of New Amsterdam (which would later become New York), the Confederation was trying to seize complete control of the fur trade.

The founding of Montréal was thus delayed for a number of years and is not attribut-able to the efforts of Samuel de Champlain, who died in 1635.

Ville-Marie (1642-1665)

The fur trade was the primary reason for the French colonization of Canada in those years; however, it does not appear to have been at the origin of the founding of Montréal.

The city, initially christened Ville-Marie, was established by a group of pious French men and women strongly infl uenced by the Jesuits’ accounts of their time in America, as well as by the currents of religious revival that were then affecting Europe. Driven by idealism, they wanted to establish a small colony on the island in the hopes of converting natives and creating a new Christian society.

Paul de Chomedey, Sieur de Maisonneuve, was chosen to oversee this venture, and was later designated governor of the new colony. Heading an expedition of about 50 people, including Jeanne Mance, de Maisonneuve arrived in America in 1641
