Old Montreal
Cobblestoned Canadian district
Old Montreal is the historic district of Montreal, Quebec, located along the St.
Lawrence River waterfront.
The area preserves 17th- and 18th-century architecture from the city's origins as a French colonial settlement, featuring cobblestone streets, stone buildings, and landmarks like Notre-Dame Basilica.
It functions as both a tourist destination and a symbol of the city's French heritage: We spent the afternoon wandering through Old Montreal.
