Encyclopedia: René Lévesque René Lévesque (August 24, 1922 - November 1, 1987), was a reporter, a minister of the government of Quebec, Canada, (1960 - 1966), the founder of the Parti Québécois political party, and 23rd Premier of Quebec (November 25, 1976 - October 3, 1985). The statue is very popular with tourists, who snuggle up to it, to have their pictures taken "with René", despite repeated attempts by officials to keep people from touching the monument or getting too close to it. On June 3, 1999, a monument in his honour was unveiled on boulevard René-Lévesque outside the Quebec National Assembly buildings in Quebec City. www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/Ren%E9-L%E9vesque

Montreal : Orientation The district is loosely bounded by rue Sherbrooke to the north, boulevard René-Lévesque to the south, boulevard St-Laurent to the east, and rue Drummond to the west. When examining a map of the city, note that such prominent thoroughfares as rue Ste-Catherine and boulevard René-Lévesque are said to run "east" and "west," with the dividing line being boulevard St-Laurent, which runs "north" and "south." To ease the confusion, the directions given throughout the Montréal section conform to local directional tradition. Signaling that optimism, there are new gates to the area on boulevard St-Laurent, guarded by white stone lions. www.frommers.com /destinations/print-narrative.cfm?destID=18&catID=0018020014   (2238 words)
