    Basilica/Church: Basilique Notre Dame
  • Tip Rating:
  • Favorite Thing: Basilique Notre Dame 424 Rue Saint Sulpice or 110 rue Notre Dame - Montreal QC. (514).842.2925.
    Metro : Place d'Armes -
    Price : 2$CND -
    Open 7AM to 8PM in Summer.

    Fondest Memory: Built in 1824 - 1829 by James O'Donnel, an Irish architect who converted to the catholicism to be burried under his work.
    A Frenchman, Henri Bouriché, created the sculptures of the altar.
    He drew his inspiration from the Sainte Chapelle in Paris (to compare, see my travelogue about this monument on my Paris Page).
    The organ is famous because it has 4 manuals (keyboards), 97 stops and 7000 pipes.
    The stained glass are recent (1929).

    Mont-Royal: Mont Royal
  • Tip Rating:
  • Montreal Mont-Royal
  • View from Mont Royal
  • by GUYON
  • Send Photo to a Friend
  • Favorite Thing: Have a look on the city from the Mont Royal. To go there : take the metro until Guy - Concordia then the bus (several lines).

    Fondest Memory: The park is very large and you have to climb by stairs to reach the belvedere.
    Behind the belvedere, there is the Chalet, a nice 19° Century building.
