Wonderful loft in Old Montreal | This loft apartment in Old Montreal is right at the heart of the old city -- restaurants, cafes, galleries, historic churches, restored warehouses all around -- and a block away is the bike path (and around the corner are bike rentals) by which you can explore much of the city. A first for us on this trip to Montreal was a visit to the Pointe a Calliere, a museum of the history and archeology of Montreal, located just a few blocks from the apartment. It looks at the origins of the city as they are revealed by an archaeological dig at that site. And the visitor gets to walk by the remains of the city's earliest cemetery as well as foundation walls of 400 years of overlapping use, the stone vaulting for a buried stream, and so on. We found it fascinating. We also walked west (3/4 hour) on the bike / walking path to the Atwater Market, an indoor/outdoor farmets' marketwhere you will find great cheeses, pates, fresh and cooked seafood, fish, and all sorts of fruit and vegetables. The apartment is lovely, decorated with style but at the same time comfortable, and well equipped. We were just sorry we couldn't stay longer and look forward to a return visit. |
