Canada_Day6_Old Montréal

Remy had his breakfast before we went out. The photo was taken in our room looking out at
Palais des Congrès de Montréal building. It's a very fun, modern and colorful building. Our room was on 9th floor facing the Montréal downtown.


Palais des Congrès de Montréal.




Montréal's China Town is nearby. We decided to walk to check it out and have brunch there.


Montreal China Town is a very busy area. Lots of people getting groceries or looking for restaurants to eat. It's very close to financial area, too.


Our lunch!


My main dish!




Our goal for today is to go to Old Town area and check out the Notre Dame in Montreal. Which is the building you see on lot of travel magazines and tour books. After lunch, we walked out from China Town and walked towards harbor area.




Poster of the mast famous corner in town!




Here is the old town area. Lots of 4-5 story high old buildings mix with new tall commercial buildings. Lots of souvenir shops in those old buildings.




Starbucks is inside this old building. Very special!


We saw part of the Montreal Notre Dame.


It was surrounded by lots of banks you can think about.





It's a very beautiful landmark at night. With special light effects.






Construction again!!!














We passed Montreal Notre Dame and head to Old montreal Town.


Most of the roads are covered by cobble stone. Very hard to push the stroller around.


We stopped for some gelato ice cream!! We've been walking for more than 2 hours.






Lots of cool restaurants here!


Jardin Nelson
is the restaurant for our dinner. The knocked down entire inside structure and make it into an outdoor garden, jazz restaurant. They only save the wall.


Marche Bonsecours has lots of gallery type of stores. Fun to go check it out.




I love the cloth they put outside of the scaffolding structure. They printed the actual building images on the cloth or canvas so you can picture what this building is going to look like under the construction.





I love this restaurant building. An expensive one!




Chateau Ramezay, A very nice place to visit!!!






Jack London square.




Tuilips were all over the places.












Back to outside of Palais des Congrès de Montréal building. We've been walking for 5 hours today!
