Montréal Sights

View all »

Montréal and the island on which it stands both take their name from Mont-Royal, a stubby plug of tree-covered igneous rock that rises high above the surrounding cityscape. Although its height is unimpressive, "the mountain" forms one of Canada's finest urban parks, and its summit offers visitors a grand overview of what North America's only French-speaking metropolis has to offer. The views of the city from the Chalet du Mont-Royal in the Parc du Mont-Royal provide an excellent orientation to the city's layout and major landmarks. More »
