MONTREAL

I chose Montreal as a travel destination 

due to it is my birthplace and the setting 

for my novel.Although I do not live in the

city of Montreal any longer it will always

be my home.Old Montreal (Vieux-Montreal) 

is the oldest part of Montreal founded in 

May 1642. It was declared an historical district 

in 1964 by the Ministere des Affaires culturelles 

du Quebec.The Old Port (Vieux-Port) takes up 

old Montreal's riverbank streets that are still

lined in the original cobblestones and draped

with the flare of European style architecture design.

There are many attractions and museums to take

in. During the summer months the city is alive

with street performers and the cafe's  in the 

Old Port are full of people gathering while the

sounds of French and various ethnic music echoes 

in the air.In 1830 an extraordinary landmark church

was built named Notre Dame Basilica.It houses the 

most beautiful artistically stained glass you will ever 

see.The architecture of this church is only to be seen 

and felt as you walk in amazement with the feel of the 
1800's.I will forever keep this vibrant multi cultured 
city close to my heart. I recommend a visit to Montreal 
in any season. My favorite time is the spring !
