Alliance Walking Tour

From the place where the city was founded in
1642, to physical evidence of all periods,
such as the French colony's winding paths or
the first Canadian skyscraper, Old Montréal
will take you on a historic tour of a great
North American metropolis.
From Pointe-à-Callière to Place
Jacques-Cartier, explore the birthplace of
our metropolis. With simplicity and humour,
your guide will lead you through a maze of
streets and historic buildings. During this

Royale. Also some important buildings and
institutions: the three Courthouses, the
Château Ramezay and the Bonsecours Market,
as well as the interior of certain
historical
buildings like the world famous Notre-Dame
Basilica (entrance fees applicable).
You will also be shown the Notre-Dame-du-Bon-
Secours Chapel, the Montréal City Hall and
some fabulous banks (The Bank of Montréal,
the Royal Bank of Canada and more!) on the
street that used to be known as the "Little
Wall Street of Canada", Saint-Jacques
Street. You will discover the commercial
Saint-Paul Street
and the Cours Le Royer, foundation place of
Montréal's first hospital: the Hôtel-Dieu.

historical district, the Sulpiciens Semenary.
