Montreal

Characteristic of the architecture of many of Montreal’s residential neighbourhoods is the prevalence of three-story town houses, which are typically divided into three or five apartments accessed by distinctive curving or spiral exterior staircases. Montreal’s residents benefit from four large farmers’ markets.

Particularly popular is the Jean-Talon market, which hosts hundreds of vendors in summer months. Offering an abundance of haute-cuisine restaurants and art galleries, Old Montreal is popular with tourists and locals alike.
