Cimetière Mont-Royal

Fodor's Review:

If you find yourself humming Getting to Know You as you explore Mont-Royal Cemetery's 165 acres, blame it on the graveyard's most famous permanent guest, Anna Leonowens (1834-1915). She was the real-life model for the heroine of the musical The King and I. The cemetery—established in 1852 by the Anglican, Presbyterian, Unitarian, and Baptist churches—is laid out like a terraced garden with footpaths that meander between crab apple trees and past Japanese lilacs.
