| | Old Montréal Exudes The Flavour Of Europe |
 | | Old Montréal, which has been turned into a magnificent recreation and tourist centre, was founded in 1642 by a small group of French colonists. |
 | | Its cobbled streets, superb old public squares, some 30 art galleries and five museums, more than a dozen boutique hotels, renovated old homes, boutiques and other shops, sidewalk cafes and fine restaurants, and churches are a provocative blend of commercialism and history. |
 | | Beyond, is the old harbour one of the largest restored old ports in the world, reconstructed for peoples’ activities. |
