Montr?al is a city like no other in Canada. With a distinctive French
culture and uncompromising beauty, it radiates a sophisticated glamour rarely
encountered in North America. Renowned for its innovative fashion, extensive
arts community and profusion of bistros, the city is a fully evolved metropolis.
The thriving downtown and scenic suburbs all contribute to an enchanting allure.
Thisl is a contemporary and multihued city where the romance of Old
Montreal nestles in the shadow of the nearby skyscrapers. Below ground, another
city exists; a subterranean domain where Montrealers shop, work, stroll and, of
course, catch Le M?tro and where extremes of heat and cold are
unknown. To the West and North of downtown are the mainly English speaking (anglophone
in Canadian parlance) commercial and residential neighborhoods, centered around
Westmount. To the East and North are French speaking quartiers, notably
Outremount and Plateau Mont-Royal. In between are the many dialects and cultures
of residents from around the globe who come together in this cosmopolitan
European outpost. SPECIAL FEATURE:Gay and
