In planning our sojourn to Quebec, specifically Montreal I did a really stupid thing. I relied on the description of the area that Louise Penny uses in her Inspector Gamache series. She describes the small hamlet of Three Pines as though it's part of the Eastern Townships of Quebec and very close to Montreal. So I expected that the AirBnB I booked outside of Montreal in the suburb town of Beloeil to be a hop, skip and a jump to the Eastern Townships. NOT! When I realized that I scrapped any plans for us to visit those little communities and focused on Montreal instead.
Here are a smattering of photos from Montreal. The weather was grey the whole time we were there.
Did you go out for dinner in Old Montréal? Surely one of the world's great dining experiences.
ReplyDelete...a city of old and new, great destination.
ReplyDeleteWell, i know those first two iconic pictures. I was a boy tin Montreal, but aside from a little visit in ‘95, I have no experience with the city.
ReplyDeleteOh they are nice photos, but I don't know what any of them depict. Glad you had a good time in the city.
ReplyDeleteI was in Montreal a few years ago and enjoyed my stay. I look forward to hearing more about your trip.
ReplyDeleteMontreal looks like a fun place to visit! I would really like to go there. Thanks for sharing these great pictures!
ReplyDeleteI thought we'd never been to Montreal, but Art just told me we have. Oops! I sure don't remember seeing any of these places you have posted. It looks very interesting.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info about your locale vs. Louis Penney’s town descriptions as Grenville is a huge fan. While the weather wasn’t cooperative, it looks like you made the best of it and explored Montreal. One day we hope to get there as well.
