About Montréal

Located about an hour from the U.S. border in south-western Québec, Montréal is the largest French-speaking city in North America. This is not a sprawling urban centre by North American standards, and that's part of Montréal's charm. Montréal, safe, clean and green, this city is good to her citizens and guests alike, who lunch and lounge on terrasses for nice, long sessions of people-watching (a sacred Montréal ritual), stroll, hike or bike on Mount Royal. The visual arts flourish here, too, at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, the Musée d'art contemporain, and hundreds of top-notch local galleries. In fact, Montréal has an international reputation for creative excellence, not just in the traditional arts, but in cutting-edge technology, multimedia, sound and film production.
