Old Montreal
Impossible de s'ennuyer à Montréal. Il suffit de flâner et vous tomberez sûrement sur un café éclectique, un spectacle de musique, un spectacle d'humour, un bar original ou une galerie présentant les plus grands artistes.
Parcourez les quartiers du Vieux-Montréal à pied ou à vélo, promenez-vous dans les musées d'art ou les galeries indépendantes de nouveaux arrivants contemporains, ou apportez un pique-nique de fromages français classiques au parc et observez les passants. Prévoyez des soupers dans des restaurants réputés proposant une cuisine française classique et un service impeccable avant de vous lancer dans des soirées tardives dans les bars locaux avec musique live et énergie palpitante. Ensuite, calmez vos sens avec une escapade dans un spa flottant aux thérapies chaudes et froides. L'effervescence est partout dans cette ville animée.
