Old Montreal: Be taken for a ride in a caleche ..

... We didn’t, we wanted to be able to poke around and see things at our own speed. The caleches were to be seen everywhere in the old town area, doing quite a steady trade, so they obviously are popular. I’ve included them under “Tourist Traps”, because I struggle to see the value in a $45 half hour trip looking at a horse’s posterior (or $75 for one hour). Still, it’s “horses for courses” (sorry about that) and maybe you’ll get a complete buzz from one of these rides. You will be able to arrange a ride at Place d’Armes (where the second photo was taken), at the City Hall, or rue De La Commune near Place Jacques Cartier.

Alternative: Walk! Take time to take in the sights.

OMG!!! Suzanne's church! How amazing, George, to see it! I have been a Leonard Cohen Fan FOREVER and now I know!Thank you! Great page-strange about the black rubbish bags lying around. I rather liked those old houses. | junecorlett Wed Apr 15, 2009 12:44 UTC
