Thanks a ton for watching ya'll
Vive le Québec!
You deserve more viewers.
I appreciate you saying this! One day perhaps.
Although the history books will show Montreal as the second oldest city in North America after Quebec City, it is actually the oldest where Europeans landed in 1534 ...aka Nouveau France. It is the seed where all North American culture stems from and almost everything and every major business can be traced back to Montreal from beer, tobacco, sugar, pens etc...
Merci for the lovely portrait you made of my city on RUclips Michael. Should you ever come back for a visit, this local historian would gladly give you a guided tour! Cheers!
That sounds fantastic!
I'm moving to Montreal in a few months and your video inspired me a lot. Thank you for sharing your experience!
Good luck with the move! I'm sure you'll love it, I'm excited to get back for a second visit.
Amazing video! Beautifully explained and documented. So glad you enjoyed the city, you'll have to come back next summer when all the festivals are happening in the streets, the vibe is something else! Great channel, keep it up!
Thank you! I'm definitely excited to return.
Thank you for this video. 🥰 I'm always proud of my city but prouder when described by an outsider. Le Parc du Mont-Royal (the mountain in the city) was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted. The same architect who designed NY Central Park. Hence the similarities between both. 🖖
That makes a lot of sense! They did indeed feel very similar to one another.
Great job. I just plan a last min trip to Montreal and I can't wait to check it out.
Thanks for watching! I'm sure you'll have a blast in Montréal.
What a beautiful City to see and explore, thanks for sharing 🙂watching from Mexico!
I am amazed by the video's poetic descriptions of a masterpiece of a city. The wording really rose to, and highlighted, what was being shown on the screen. The narrative in this video is the best I've heard on any travel video. So nice to see (and hear) that the art of written/verbal expression has not been completely lost in this era of grunting, poorly spelled texts, and banal observations.
Thank you, Tim! It would be difficult to describe Montréal in any other way. I'm excited to return one day.
I can't believe it. This is incredible :)
Thank you! Montréal was an amazing city. Can't wait to return one day.
Hé! No Mozzarella in Poutine! It is fresh cheddar curd. And it must make squouik-squouik when you bite a piece ;-) Come back in the summer, when Montréal is a music festival for 3 months ...
It definitely made the sound! But good to know that it's cheddar. I'll certainly be back!
The cathedral Marie Reine du Monde is a small replica of St Peter of Rome a statement of power by the catholic french Canadians in the middle of the financial district which was onced controlled by the Anglos!
Interesting! I didn't realize that
As a native Montrealer, what I like the most about the city are its bike trails, especially the ones on Ile Ste-Hélène, île Notre-Dame and the trail going from Old Montreal all the way to Lake St-Louis, in the West Island. I can show you around next time you visit the city. Very good video.
✌️ᓚᘏᗢ Nice!!
Notre Dame Basilica is NOT a cathedral! As well, for even better European atmosphere and architecture, you must visit Québec City, a UNESCO World Heritage site as well as being the only walled North American city north of Mexico.
Interesting! I didn't realize, but that's good to know! As for Quebec City, that's absolutely on the bucket list.
You have to visit the church trilogy in Montréal : Notre Dame, Saint Joseph, Marie Reine du Monde.
Beautiful Quebec City.
In Jeanne Mance (co-founder of Montréal in 1642) Park, Canadian, not American football is played.
I moved here back in 2012 just for a year I was saying 😌 never left ❤
I can understand why! If I spoke French more fluently, I would move to Montréal in a heartbeat
Many cathedrals? In a city there is normal one cathedral as it is the seat of the Bishop in the Roman Catholic world . But you are right in Montréal there is also another the cathedral , the anglican one .
Thanks for your positive and accurate video . Another must visit area is the Cote des neiges et Mount Royal cimenteries on the other side of Mount Royal close to the Université de Montreal . Like in Europe these 2 cimenterie have an European style with amazing stones , famous Canadians like Leonard Cohen , John Molson etc , flowers , trees and animals like red foxes... a place to visit . More than 1 million people buried , since World War One, titanic and famous people ... there is a video on RUclips about these cimenteries . Merci
Excelente. Gran reportaje! Santiago y todo Chile son hermosos, de lo mejor!
this is a very very good vlog! I liked the vibe and the narrative a lot. Excellent language!
I appreciate this!
Thank you for this lovely view of Montreal. I've read two people on RUclips saying "Montreal is basically just Cleveland. And they speak French." This video seems to kill that notion - or else Cleveland is much nicer than we thought.
I couldn't disagree more with "Montréal is just Cleveland." I would say it has one of the strongest city identities in North America 🙂 in fairness, I've never been to Cleveland
Thanks for this travel vlog ! Have added a few 'must try' food experiences for my next trip.
Thanks so much for watching!
Rick Steves in training? I think so! Awesome work.
Thanks! Perhaps one day
great video, well researched, well written and well put together
Thank you! I appreciate you watching!
I love your videos. If I may, I'd like to make a few suggestions for your next trip to Montreal. You should try the poutine, steamed hot dogs and spruce beer at Paul Patates. Decarie hot dogs also has good hot dogs. Then another institution is Orange Julep where again you can find some nice hot dogs. For smoked meat, i think Schwartz is one of the worst in MOntreal even though it's the most well know. Next time, for smoked meat, try Deli Snowdon, Lester's or Main (right in front of Schwartz). Ma'aam Bolduc has an excellent poutine. Joe Beef and Au Pied de Cochon can satisfy the most decadent appetites. Park, Jun I and Aka-Fuji for the sushi. You should also try some Montreal Portugese food such as Ma Poule Mouillee. Those a just a few of my favorite places. Notice I did not mention La Banquise unlike many MOntrealers would, I think their poutine is sooooo overrated.
Thank you for the recommendations! I think I had looked at Snowdon as an option for smoked meat initially, so I'll be happy to give it a taste. As for Montréal Portuguese food, this sounds intriguing. I think I was in the La Plateau area when I ate pastel de nata...
Thanks for your beautiful video.... new subscriber from Iran👌⚘
Thanks for subscribing! I appreciate you watching!
Bel et excellent ambassadeur pour Montréal. L'Office du tourisme devrait l'engager et le rémunérer pour son bon travail.
Merci! Montréal était une belle ville.
You missed the entire underground city. Square victory is the corporate southern side, it connects to the northern part under St-Catherine where all the underground malls are connected.
This is great info for my next visit! I don't know why, but I had a difficult time finding everything. Looking forward to checking it out one day!
I see you started in old Montreal
I did! One of my favorite parts of the city, it reminded me a lot of the cobbled old towns in Europe.
just discovered your channel. Ive really enjoyed your tour of the two most important historical Canadian cities, Toronto and Montreal. Thanks and I will stay tuned for what youre up to next.
Thank you! Excited to have you here. Hoping to make it back to Canada in the near future to dive into Quebec City (and at the other end of the stick, Vancouver)
@@asenseoftravel Both beautiful cities.
Montréal smoked meat is not ‘corned beef’. Rather beef brisket is rubbed with salt and spices, then smoked.
Except it.s electronically smoked ,since wood smoking is forbidden.
Honestly, McCafe has better coffee while Tim Hortons has better food. Tim Hortons lost their old coffee supplier (the one everyone loved and held in high regards) and McDonalds Canada swooped in to get them with an exclusivity clause. So when everyone tells you that Tim Hortons coffee is superior, they're likely talking about the coffee that McCafe now has.
American Football isn't played in Canada. Those playing surfaces you saw were for Canadian Football. Canadian Football entered the USA in 1874 when Montreal's McGill University introduced it to Harvard University. The sport as played in the US morphed into its own distinct code but this lineage is why it looks very similar to Canadian Football.
This video would have been much different if you have also visited Quebec city which is the most European city in North America, not Montreal. Old Quebec city is older and much bigger than old Montreal.
Noted! I do hope to visit Quebec City at some point, so I am sure my perspective will change. I've heard a lot of great things about Quebec City.
I watched this video after the Toronto video. You may have missed Path in Toronto, the underground tunnels that connect buildings and are full of stores. It rivals Montreal's Réso but I think Path is bigger. Also, maybe you choose the wrong part to explore if you only saw bare tunnels... Still a nice video, I really like vieux Montréal.
This is good to know! And yeah, for the life of me I couldn't find the "lively" part of the Underground City in Montréal, but I'll be sure to find it next time I'm there!
Dude you gotta come back and try the smoked meat on the poutine..
I don’t have it any other way.
That sounds incredible - any recommendations on where I should try it?
@@asenseoftravel
Honestly , I don’t have a favourite poutine restaurant , any resto that serves it is gonna be good.
Fun fact , Quebec is responsibke almost 80 % of the world Maple syrup production
Hockey was invaded in Montréal !
If you think that Montréal is European (which is not), go to Québec city!!
I definitely want to visit Québec City in the near future. Seems like an incredible place.
It is the Le Plateau Mont Royal not le plateau Montréal
Rue St Denis is more beautiful than the plateau mont royal
Québec city is even more european.
Kinshasa is a french soeaking city with more people than Montréal
I hate the erasing of the English history of Montreal and QC. We exist too.
I don’t consider Canadian French as French French.
Québec city is more european than Montréal
The most important feature of Montreal...the strip clubs!!!
He blew it with Tim Horton’s, which may be one of the most mediocre beverages, ever made. As far as being good, try again, somewhere else
That's fair. I think I was moreso interested in the idea that Tim Horton's is a Canadian staple. Next time I'm in Montréal, I'll definitely explore some of the more niche and local spots.
T.H. has good donuts, and is a Canadian staple.
Unfortunately, not great coffee.
I noticed that you never smile much. are you depressed?
