Montral and Qubec City guide Things to do

Parc du Mont-Royal
The geographic highlight of Montral are undeniably Mont-Royals steep slopes. Named by Jacques Cartier in 1535 (see Jacques Cartier), the protected district of Parc du Mont-Royal covers more than 343 acres of forested mountain, providing abundant green spaces, shrubs and flowers, as well as habitats for hundreds of species of birds and other wildlife. Designed in 1876 by Frederick Law Olmsted, Mont-Royal continues to inspire locals as an arboreal delight in the center of their metropolis activity options, depending on the time of year, include skating, cycling, paddle-boating, tobogganing and snowshoeing. To the northwest of the park is the impressive Oratoire St-Joseph. A new heritage status protects the Parc du Mont-Royal from commercial development.

Trail Systems The park has a network of forested corridors, popular with cyclists and runners in summer and cross-country skiiers in winter. Lookouts Belvedere Kondiaronk is the lookout of the Chalet du Mont-Royal. The Camilien Houde lookout faces east over the river. Locals sometimes refer to it as Lovers Lookout.

Tam-Tam Festival Sundays in the park during the summer belong to the exuberant Tam-Tam Festival. For more than 30 years drummers, musicians, dancers and artisans have met at the Monument Sir George-tienne Cartier to party.

Cemeteries Cimetire Notre-Dame-des-Neiges (Catholic) and Cimetire Mont-Royal (non-Catholic) are the two main resting places of the city. Far from sombre, they are adorned with lovely statues, sculptures and luxuriant plantings.

10 Oratoire St-Joseph The dome atop this


shrine is an overwhelming sight to the west of the park. Pilgrims flock to the oratory, inspired by tales of miracle cures (see Features of Oratoire St-Joseph).

Lac aux Castors The heart of Parc du Mont-Royal is Lac aux Castors. People gather during fair weather to paddle boats or to ice skate in winter.

Police Stables Visits to the Police Cavalry Stables are possible, and it is common to see officers on horseback cantering through the park.

sick. He attributed his skills to St Josephs intervention and petitioned for donations to build the Oratoire. Neo-Classical Architecture Inspired by the temples of Corinth, architects Dalb Viau and Alphonse Venne designed the exterior of St Josephs, but the completion of the project was a collaboration of Lucien Parent, monk Dom Paul Bellot and architect Grard Notebaert.

Altar and Stations of the Cross The magnificent altar, crucifix and wooden statues of the 12 Apostles are creations of the French artist Henri Charlier. Roger Villiers sculpted the Way of the Cross between 19579; the stunning interior mosaic was added to the altar in 1960.

Top tips
If visiting Montral in winter you can still enjoy a version of the Tam-Tam Festival, as well as a drink, at the nearby El Zaz Bar (see El Zaz Bar). Parking fees are high in Parc du Mont-Royal. Park your car inside the grounds of one of the cemeteries and walk to the summit lookout.

Frederick Law Olmsted


A champion of the City Beautiful movement of landscape architects, Frederick Law Olmsted was born in Hartford, Connecticut in 1822. Best known for his visionary designs of Central Park in New York City, Olmsteds aim was to reject the formal plantations that had previously been in vogue and to complement the natural landscape with his pastoral designs and designated areas for recreation.

Casavant Organ Joseph Casavant was a Qubcois blacksmith and the first significant builder of pipe organs in Canada. He built the famous Notre-Dame organ for the basilica in 1891. The Altar In 1880 local artists Henri Bourich and Louis-Philippe Hbert created complementary wood sculptings backed by azure for this spectacular altarpiece.

Famous Weddings Many famous couples have tied the knot in Notre-Dame but the most mentioned celebrity wedding is that of recording star Cline Dion in 1994 (see Cline Dion).

Set in the middle of the church, it allows the congregation to hear sermons without amplification. Chapelle du Sacr-Coeur Built in 1888, this gem hides behind the main altar. Countless marriage ceremonies take place here, inspiring the moniker of The Wedding Chapel.

James ODonnell
Irish architect James ODonnell was contracted to draw plans and oversee the construction of Basilique Notre-Dame in 1823. A Protestant by birth, ODonnells pride in the basilica caused him to convert to Catholicism, allowing him burial inside his church. Synthesizing many divergent design elements from contributing architects, he introduced the Gothic Revival style into Canadian architecture.

Parc Olympique
One of Montrals most remarkable attractions, Parc Olympique is also one of its most controversial. Built for the 1976 Olympic Games, it remained unfinished until the 1980s, despite a cost of $1.4 billion, and the retractable roof over the stadium has never fully worked. Nevertheless, visitors can easily spend a full day or two entertained by the varied exhibitions, sights and activities available within this immense quadrilateral. Ride the funicular to the top of the Tour Montral for the most enthralling view of the region.

Top 10 Sights
Stade Olympique Designed by the French architect Roger Taillibert and constructed by local engineers for the 1976 Olympics, the stadium seats 65,000 people, has a cable-suspended roof and is covered in a membrane of space-age Kevlar material. Today it is used to stage rock concerts and baseball games.

Greenhouses A series of greenhouses in the gardens, just past the entrance, provide enough humidity for various botanical environments to thrive, including a rainforest canopy, tropical medicinal plants, and beautiful, brightly colored orchids.

Insectarium Quebecer Georges Brossard, known as the Bug Man, roams the world collecting exotic insects then displays them in this riveting showcase. Jardin Botanique Founded in 1931 and covering nearly 200 acres, the lush gardens were created by gifted horticulturist Henry Teuscher (see Jardin Botanique Features). Tour Montral For the best view of Montral ride the extraordinary, 2-minute, 76-seat funicular in the Tour Montral. An observatory sits atop the worlds highest leaning tower, almost 152 m (500 ft) from ground to summit. March Maisonneuve More than just a taste of fresh market fare, the March Maisonneuve also provides a gathering point. Attracting clientele from all over the city and the province, the market is a great spot for people-watching.

Mayor Jean Drapeau


Many agree that the enthusiasm of Jean Drapeau, the mayor of Montral from 19547 and again from 196086 (see Moments in History), put Montral on the international map. A lawyer by trade, he was passionate about his city, and while in office oversaw the building of the Mtro subway system and the citys cultural venue Place des Arts, brought the Worlds Fair to town in 1967 and led the successful bid for the 1976 Olympic Games.

Muse des Beaux-Arts de Montral


One of the most impressive museums in North America dominates both sides of stately rue Sherbrooke Ouest. It began life in 1860, when a group of collectors set up the Art Association of Montral to present exhibitions, establish an art school, assemble a permanent collection of paintings and develop an art library. The members eventually raised finances to construct their own building, now the Michal & Renata Hornstein Pavilion, to house Old Masters and contemporary works. In 1991 the museum expanded into the modern Jean-Nol Desmarais Pavilion (illustrated here), on the south side of the street.

Dramatically set atop Cap Diamant, this installation of 10 buildings is the largest military fortification (40 acres) in North America. Overlooking the St Lawrence River, the site was begun by the French in 1750, but much of the striking star-shaped battlement seen today was constructed by the British between 1820 and 1850, built to defend the city from possible invasion from the United States in the 19th century. The fort is an active home to the Royal 22nd Regiment of the Canadian Army and daily military spectacles are staged to entertain visitors during the summer months.

Separatism
Ever since the British made an offer in 1848 to allow the French to maintain their language within an English-speaking domain, the relationship between what would become the nation of Canada and the province of Qubec has been fraught with mistrust. As Canada and Qubec continually reached political deadlock, separatist sentiment grew. Many Qubcois feel that their province is distinct from the rest of Canada, and so would be better off as a separate nation. In 1980 and 1995, the province held referendums on whether to separate, and both times the vote was a narrow no.
