Archaeological evidence shows that First Nations native people occupied Montreal as early as 4,000 years ago, until French nobleman Jérôme Le Royer de La Dauversière led a group of colonists to build a mission on his by Joanne Lévesque seigneury. Montreal's historic tryst with the French has since permeated through the city's veins, and is represented in every facet of its culture. Since its incorporation as a city in 1832, Montreal has transformed into the financial and commercial center of Canada. The beautiful city has also been named a UNESCO City of Design, a title that pays ode to its remarkable creativity and multicultural spirit. Some of the noteworthy attractions in the city include the Notre-Dame Basilica, Olympic Stadium, McGill University, Clock Tower and Saint Joseph's Oratory. www.mtl.org/en Montreal, Montreal QC Parque Nacional Jacques-Cartier "Un Refugio para la Naturaleza en Quebec" Este parque nacional les permitirá echar un vistazo a la belleza natural de Quebec.

  • "Les Quatre Vents;' a Far-Northern Garden
    "Les Quatre Vents;’ a Far-Northern Garden Francis H. Cabot Seizing opportunities presented by cool, moist summers and deep winter snows has been the key to success in this northern outpost of Zone 4 A detailed map of the plant-hardiness zones of North America shows Zone 4 sweeping east from Lake Superior to the northern-tier states of New York and New England, thence north through New Brunswick to Newfoundland. As one follows the St. Lawrence River northeast from Montreal, Zone 4 appears to peter out on the north shore of the river a few miles north of the windswept Citadel of Quebec City, which overlooks the river at a point where it suddenly changes into an ever-widening inland sea that ultimatelv seven hundred miles to the northeast, becomes the Atlantic Ocean. The view to the northeast from the heights of Quebec over the thirty-mile-long Ile d’Orleans shows the southern shore of the St. Lawrence receding into the distance as it veers slightly to the east. The view of the north shore, on the other hand, is limited by Cap Tourmente, a stark, eighteen hundred-foot-high headland that curves sharply down to the roiled gray-green salt water. At this point, just beyond the northern tip of lle d’Orleans, the granite mass of the Laurentian Mountains, clothed in the spruce and fir mantle of the boreal forest, meets the salt-water coastline for the first time. From here on, these two elements-boreal forest and salt water-are the norm until one reaches the tundra and permafrost of Labrador.
