Montreal thru the Lens - Old and New

Montreal. Starting with the Notre Dame Basilica, a magnificent
Gothic Revival church dating back to 1829. Discover the Chateau
Ramezay Museum, a former Governor's residence dating back to the
18th Century. Montreal City Hall built in 1872 and from its balcony
in 1967, French President General de Gaulle uttered his famous words
"Vive le Québec libre!" Next on to the Marguerite Bourgeoys Museum,
a key site in Old Montreal dating back to 1655. Also, Pierre du
Calvet House, built in the 18th Century, this house is one of the
most beautiful examples of urban architecture developed in New
France. The Marché Bonsecours inaugurated in 1847 was the city's
main agricultural marketplace for over a century. The Centre

Chinatown -
Photojournalistic Tour
Cheek-by-jowl with downtown Montréal, immense multicoloured archways
that hearken back to Imperial China welcome you to our own little
slice of Asia. Montréal’s Chinatown provides a welcome change of
scene with its pedestrian mall lined with Asian businesses,
restaurants and food markets. Everything works to reinforce the
impression of exotic new surroundings: the perfumes of the Orient,
the ornate street lights and engraved bronze paving stones that
bedeck Rue de La Gauchetière, the park commemorating Sun Yat-Sen,
and the pagoda-topped hotel.
