The name says it all: Old Montreal is the city’s oldest neighbourhood, and with the patrimonial architecture to show it too. Walking through the cobblestone streets, you might see a film set simulating Paris or another European city. A touristic destination, Old Montreal is known for its vast number of galleries, boutiques and French bistros. These days, however, the neighbourhood is diversifying, as younger crowds of locals working in surrounding agencies flock to the many new trendy cafes and art centers.
