Montreal Is the Second-Largest French-Speaking City in the World After Paris

DESTINATIONS

MONTRÉAL ★★★ Montreal is the second-largest French-speaking city in the world after Paris. A multicultural centre whose French accent mingles with those of some 80 other ethnic communities, Montreal charms the visitor with its combination of Old-World charm and North American energy. The downtown centre teems with life at the foot of the mountain, while the city’s history is deeply rooted in the old neighborhoods near the river. And you don’t need a rental car to discover its charms: Montreal can be easily visited on foot.
