"Appleman's new Montreal Page" a Montreal Travel Page by Appleman

Montreal is just about the greatest city in North America (even if I am a bit biased) and it is always a pleasure to live and visit there. It is one of the oldest cities in North America and has the most European like feel on this side of the Atlantic. The city is a haven for art, history, shopping, architecture, and fun of all kinds. The people of Quebec are very different from the rest of Canada. They are mostly of French decent and are very rpoud of their culture and history. something you can;t miss if you do visit is the POUTINE. Try one at any resaurant and you'll be in love (until your heart stops beating from the arterial blockage). Picture a mound of french fries covered in a thick gravy with fresh cheese curds sprinkled throughout.. mmmmm. The nightlife is extraordinary and the people are friendlier than most. The only downside is the language barrier. The language of choice is french while most people can speak some english it can a bit of a hassel at times.
