Montreal

Montreal, Québec, Canada – 2010. Montreal is the second most populous city in Canada and is an important centre of Canadian French history, culture, food and fashion. Following a two week visit with friends in South and Eastern Ontario we traveled to Montreal and spent three days there. Three days was not enough time, it is a wonderful place to visit. We stayed at a small boutique hotel in old Montreal call le Saint Sulpice. A very nice hotel with friendly staff, good food and service and in a great location.
