The 10 Best Things to do in Le Sud-Ouest (Southwest District), Canada
Montreal, c’est si bon! This French-speaking city is considered the cultural capital of Canada, and is a cosmopolitan celebration of Québécois style. A horse-drawn carriage ride around the cobblestone streets and grand buildings of Vieux-Montréal will give you a taste of European flavor. The Basilique Notre-Dame is a confection of stained glass, and the Plateau Mont-Royal district will delight you with its quaint boutiques and cafés. Dig in to a massive plate of poutine to fuel up for a tour of the epic Olympic Park.

8. Rue Notre-Dame

4.5 based on 117 reviews
This street is most famous for its stretch which provides the city's best antique shopping.
Reviewed By retireeVancouver - Vancouver, Canada
We walked just a short section of this major East-West street in Montreal to see attractions located on it like the Notre Dame Basilica, Chateau Ramezay, Nelson Column, and Place Jacques Cartier. This is definitely the street to walk on, not only as a means to get to the above attractions, but also because of the inspiring and photo worthy classical architecture of the public buildings like City Hall, the Court of Appeal, and various banks. The other buildings on the street are reminders of what 4-5 story apartment buildings used to look like. The ground floor of these grey stone buildings had shops, restaurants - great for window shopping and comparing menu items and prices. The street is beautified by its well placed city squares - spacious, with statues to commemorate historical figures, bubbling fountains, shade trees, benches, and most often street musicians. The street itself is only 2 lanes wide with street parking. I even saw a horse carriage using this street. Sidewalks are easy to walk on and wide - no cobble stones or brick here to stumble over. For cruisers, such as myself, Notre Dame street and its attractions were a short distance from the port - about a 10 minute walk - so there was no need to use public transportation - a definite positive. Streets were well signed so it was easy to find one's way. The signs showing the attractions on a city map and "You are here" notations were also helpful. Remembering that Rue Notre Dame ran parallel to the St. Lawrence and that the cross streets would take us back to the river was another useful way to find our way in the city.

Maison Saint-Gabriel, museum and historic site, opened its doors in 1966. Located in Pointe-Saint-Charles, this magnificent 300-year-old building is one of the finest examples of the traditional architecture of New France.

10. Atwater Market
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 727 reviews
The market, along the Lachine Canal, offers cheese, local produce, baked goods and meat from different vendors. Buy food there and head to the canal for a picnic.
Reviewed By Phatbloke - London, United Kingdom
Tried both of these markets and Atwater had a bit more about it than Jean-Talon, great foodstalls, organic shops and many little places to buy things to eat or take back.
