Who ever produces these "Discover Montreal" videos, you are my hero! I've never felt more proud to be a native Montrealer, than after watching your videos of our beloved city!
😭Thank you so much! It’s a lot of work but worth it for responses like this♥️
Sorry to bother you but I have few questions. I have never been to Montreal but I really love this old part of the city. I know not all parts of Montreal have this old and european vibe but I wonder how much it looks like this. I mean, are the most parts of the city this old and european style or they are modern like other cities of Canada? And another question. These old parts must cost much more. Is that right?
@@shamimtavasoli4724 Especially in the neighborhoods surrounding the downtown core, the buildings all have an older European feel to them, very distinct from the modern suburbia typical in the rest of North America. They are dense packed townhouses, built abreast of one another, all three to four stories tall and with a style quite uniquely their own. Due to the density of the housing, at ground level shopping, restaurants, etc, are never more than a block away and virtually every corner has some sort of store. Public squares, parks, quaint seating nooks, etc., abound throughout.
You really have to hunt far to find modern suburbia. There are typical modern style apartment buildings, but some serious effort has been made by architects to not despoil areas of their charms and their design usually melds well. There are a few sections of the city that were built in the mid twentieth century largely as factory/warehouse districts that are lacking in much charm, but they are very much the exceptions.
If you like Mtl, you should see Québec city, founded in 1608.
I'm from Toronto. It is my dream to move to Vieux-Montréal. Its so beautiful that it fills my heart. Vive la Montréal!
Being an architectural junkie is likely one reason I adore Montreal (and QC) so much. Add in the beautiful French language, the culture surrounding you everywhere, and the magnificent cuisine, and you have a world class European-style city sans the flight. If not for the long, cold winters, I might have settled here. I have been all over Europe,, and I am not even Catholic, but Basilique Notre Dame IS the most beautiful church in the world, and it's blue hues make you feel as if you landed in heaven! St Joseph Oratory on Mont Royal is impressive, too,, but this is the creme de la creme! J'aime beaucoups le ville du Montreal!
Beautifully said! Glad you're enjoying the videos :)
Merci 🥰
It's not hard to dress for the winter, and there is always the RÉSO, the largest underground network in the world. It is quite possible in the worst of winter to spend the day out and about and never wear a coat.
The most beautiful Canadian city 😍
I spent eight years living in Old Montreal. Best time of my life.
I live in old port for the last 36 years. Love every inch. Beautiful, graceful and majestic place.
When did the restoration begin because I recall in the late '40s, it was not a place you wanted to live or visit?

@@shamimtavasoli4724 Yes, the oldest parts do cost more. But Montreal tends to have very reasonable rents compared to most cities, largely because the zoning has long favored dense townhouse construction, which has also helped very much with community.
Not only the city is pretty, also the people very cheerful, joyful. Great video, thank you for sharing.
Imagine Boston’s historic North End,,, but on steroids! Old Montréal is beyond compare. It’s a place you have to visit to really understand just how cool it is. My favorite city in North America hands down.
I say ditto, Patriot, but what about New Orleans? That is the one city in NA I have not visited.
@@TomHuston43 NOLA is a great city to visit, fun and wonderful people, but rough on the edges. The Garden District b is nice, the French Quarter fun, but lots of blight, qn oppressive humid climate and high crime rate. Montreal, Boston and Charleston are in one group, and New Orleans is quite different. Another beautiful city to consider in North America (without the great architecture) is Vancouver, BC, Canada.
Merci
@@jdhjimbo Nola is a very unique city, and worth visiting. Sadly they destroyed large parts of the city through urban renewal and freeway construction, and hurricane Katrina destroyed more.
@@jdhjimbo According to the most recent data by Statistics Canada and the FBI, Greater Montréal ranked No. 1 again for safest city among 20 of the largest metropolitan areas in Canada and the U.S. due to its low homicide rate (1.11 for very 100,000 inhabitants compared to the 4.72 average).
Wow, superbe recherche 18m52s, ça fait juste 3 fois de suite que je l’écoute, merde comme on est fière de notre ville, encore une fois c’est de l’excellent travail, prend soin de toi et de très Joyeuses Fêtes.
Merci Michel! Joyeuses fêtes à vous aussi!
hands down Montreal is the best city in Canada if not the world ... i live in Ottawa and every single week end i m in MTL ... its just a cool ass city with great vibes people are awesome the city sooo artsy and walkable.
I love montreal ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Havent see Don Mcgowen in years! he was the funniest weatherman!!!
Montréal une ville en perpétuelle mouvement !!
Montréal une ville à découvrir
Montréal une ville à redécouvrir
Montréal dans les moindres recoin de la ville une surprise !!
Montréal ouah !
Montréal la belle
Montréal le magnifique
Montréal y love
Magnifique reportage très belles fêtes de fin d'année et joyeux noël à tous !!
Montréal français!
Another gem! These vids make me nostalgic for the 70s, when I worked in a resto on Rue St. Paul, just off Place J-C.
I've since moved out of the city for work, but return to visit every year.
I was there 23 years ago and I've missed her ever since. ❤️
i live in toronto but i am born and raised in montreal greatest city in canada great party town
Et pour y VIVRE!😉
Well done vids. Great idea to mash up YT vids into a greatest hits package. Chapeau!
As for the architecture...old school European architecture and urban design is clearly the most attractive and easthetically pleasing on the planet. Why modern Canadian architects and designers can't learn a lick from what obviously works so bloody well in old Montreal and Quebec City is maddening. If I were King Of Everything, every Canadian city and town would look like old Montreal.
I love Montreal
Love Montreal iam glad I live here in Québec 💖
You got it
Stunning and beautiful. What a fabulous video I am impressed. Great historical information. Thanks for sharing the History. A charming location.
Cant wait for this virus to die so we can enjoy this city as it was. I've never seen Montreal being so quiet, it's disturbing. Better days coming soon!
Couldn’t agree more! The vibrancy will return, there’s no doubt about that ❤️
Don't forget to go to Quebec City.
Remove the tyrants in Canada, like Trudope. Worse than the US blue states, and it is a huge scam and power grab! Resist and do NOT comply!!
@@christopherfancy8155 Another beautiful French city. From Chateau Frontenac to the Dufferin Terrasse and Le Petit Champlain below to the Montmorency Falls, and the Saguenay Fjord, and more wonderful cuisine, it is a wonder, too. Be forewarned that English is not as widely spoken in QC as MontreL, so you need to brush up on French phrases, which is the respectful thing to do in the first place! Do not be a lazy, rude Anglophone.
It was a great privilege to live in Montreal during the 1990s!
Love Old Port!
wow
My sisters third home lol. is in this video often It’s I think lol 55 saint-Paul st w Same street that all the beautiful art galleries are. You showed her building in one of those shots. Right by the Ferris wheel and Dublin market. Not far Notre Dame. ( if the light show is on at the church stop by. It’s beautiful, just an interesting fact Celine Dion had her husband’s funeral at the church)
I’ve spent lots of time here and It’s absolutely stunning ♥️♥️🇨🇦
Very beautiful!!❤
J’suis Louisianais pis j’aime bien cette chaîne. Mais j’voulais savoir s’il y a une version de cette chaîne en français.
Thank you for another great video Discover Montréal!
Thank you Sonia!
Pubs, bars and restaurants at every corner, this global covid hysteria needs to end right now.
The usual perfect montage 😎 Loved it 👌
Thank you Victor!
2:02 Tourists : “it’s amazing! I feel we’re in Paris but we’re in Montreal.” (While there is tango music playing)
Porteños : Buenos Aires IS the Paris of South America.
Paris et Montréal, deux villes totalement différentes. On peut pas se croire à Paris lorsqu’on est à Montréal, sauf si on est jamais allé à Paris.
My favourite area in Montreal.
Walking through old Montreal in flat soles is recommended, lots of cobblestone areas. Stm buses there lead to metro stations
Haha that wedding parade like in New Orleans
post osheaga vibes
I've never seen a pug that wanted to play with a poodle
@ 7:35 Jacques Cartier is actually credited for Discovering Canada. A few historians (Mostly English obviously) are of the opinion Canada was discovered by the Italian Giovanni Caboto, an Italian navigator and explorer, they have since renamed "John Cabot" and conveniently forget to mention he's Italian. Funny how some folks with small penis syndrome need to rewrite history.
Reminds of glasgow
Old quebec town beat old montreal when you doing a mushroom trip only walking around town at night
It's not a competition. One is a French town completely rebuilt after being destroyed in 1759, the other features French, English, Irish and Scottish architecture spanning 400 years. Both are unique for different reasons!
@@DiscoverMontréal lol im living right between the two city and montreal is dead boring, few historic building tthere and there surrounded by gargabe dumb all around
@@deviljes666 😂🙄
Vive le Québec francophone
Et libre du Canada, le plus vite possible! VLQL
🇨🇦💪
Les gens qui disent que le vieux Montréal ressemble à Paris n'ont visiblement aucune culture de base en architecture.
Fortunately, the British lost the Hundred Years War, otherwise, they would have reduced half of France like that. I think for an American this city must be the best. As an Italian from Italy I find it a bit grey, like most English cities. Fortunately, the planners have not completely destroyed the grid of streets and squares of the historic center, so people can afford to walk and experience the (wrong) impression of being in Europe and sitting at a table in a café, watching the world go by.
In fact Québec and Missouri usa look similair Lille Amiens rouen . But architecture New Orleans louisiana look similair Marseille Orleans bordeaux
It looks more like old parts of New York or even London but man this don't look like Paris
I was born in Montreal.
On compare à Paris, Londres, Prague, Glasgow etc, etc. etc. etc... Non, c'est Montréal. Point final!
Montreal was founded in 1642 not 1672.
1672 is Montreal’s oldest street… I can tell you didn’t watch the video because 1642 is mentioned within the first 30 seconds 😂
Montreal is 1000s of years old ....ask the Moors
Oh my God. Lol
morocco couldn t do better than montreal even after thousands years of civilisation ...a shame !!
Bih said Croatia 😂😂😂
Very nice but no mention of the British, Scottish, Irish that funded all the first and best universities, banks, hospitals and all sorts of institutions. All the bridges and infrastructure that was built by the Irish and immigrant population. No mention of them.
You must not have watched the video, the efforts of the British, Scottish and Irish were all mentioned and it was explained that the architecture of the neighbourhood is mostly their contribution.
Ba-ha-ha...it was all in there, included in the vid. You need to watch again, pay attention to the narration.
marynews1: This video was about Old Montreal, not the entire city of Montreal. And no, not all the bridges were built by Irish and immigrants. Many French and especially indigeneous people from local areas worked and died building those bridges. I guess you are not a Montrealaise.
All these constructions you talk about were built by French quebecois quasi-slaves to their British Scottish owners who exploited them for 200 years.
Where are the iconic orange construction cones!
Montreal 1608 par Samuel De Champlain
1608 c’est Québec! Montréal découvert par Jacques Cartier en 1535 et fondée par Maisonneuve et Jeanne Mance le 17 mai 1642.
Non 1642 par De Maisonnruve
As much as you love our French culture, we are losing ground at an alarming rate. Please I do encourage you to support our French culture in any way you can. At the end of the day, if we disappear, it will be a terrible loss to the North American continent.
By all calculable measurements, French culture is doing just fine and will remain strong for generations in North America. Repeating alarmist hysteria whipped up by politicians trying to gain political points is not productive and does more damage than good. Québécois culture isn’t going anywhere ⚜️
I've lived in Montreal for fifty years, and far from the French culture declining, I think it has thrived. It 'has' become much more cosmopolitan over time though.
Born and raised in Montreal; and French culture is in no danger of disappearing. Nicole needs to sit down and take some deep breaths. There have, in fact, been some pretty draconian laws put in place for quite a while now which have ensured French culture by forbidding English language and culture. Evolution of language and culture is normal, as is change. Calme-toi, Nicole.
@@karenburrows9184 OUF! you are my first ever Karen. Thank you!
@@nicolemarois5900 I actually smiled when I saw your response, Nicole. Seulement une Quebecoise could reply with such grace and with such a gentle rebuke. Touche, mon ami. C'est comme ca, chez nous. We will all carry the culture and language avec nous. Avec fierte. (Sorry for the English keyboard).
Montréal n'a pas 400ans.. encore 21ans a attendre... Fondateur
: Paul de Chomedey de Maisonneuve
Date de fondation: 17 mai 1642
1608 montreal a ete fondé par Samuel de Champlain I know Im born here and study histoire de la province de Québec
@@linaburon5672 you know nothing! 1608 was Quebec City not Montreal that was founded by Maisonneuve google it you'll see you're wrong it's easy and it take 2 sec! and if you really studied history of Quebec i can say that about everything you say in this video is false or wrong!
@@darthreun3851 In 1611, Champlain established a fur trading post on the Island of Montreal on a site initially named La Place Royale. At the confluence of Petite Riviere and St. Lawrence River, it is where present-day Pointe-à-Callière stands. On his 1616 map, Champlain named the island Lille de Villemenon in honour of the sieur de Villemenon, a French dignitary who was seeking the viceroyship of New France.
old montreal is charming but it's only 5% of montreal, the touristic part of the city, the rest of the city isnt as beautiful, that's why no one talks about the east the west or the north of the island.
I've walked up Mt Royal. The only city that I've been to that has a mountain in the middle of the city. 😂
That girl said Montreal reminds her of New York? Dumb
Montreal is the cut little sister of New york.
@ElectroBoom at the end for the wrap up!
