Montreal: its fabulous Historical District and Botanical Garden
If you’re looking for a city with European elegance and a festive atmosphere, then consider visiting Montreal in Eastern Canada. Located in the province of Quebec, Montreal is a major cosmopolitan city with over 3.5 million people most of whom speak both English and French. By North American standards it’s an old city, dating back to 1535 when Jacques Cartier claimed it and the entire St. Lawrence Valley for France. With its splendid 17th and 18th century architecture, sidewalk cafes, cobblestone streets, and its French food and wine, parts of Montreal look and feel like Paris, France. Canadians, Americans, and Mexicans are very fortunate that they can experience all of the charm, sophistication, great food and wine, historical buildings, and fun nightlife that a city which is similar to Paris has to offer, but at half the cost and without having to leave North America!

The trip begins in Horseshoe Bay, a small fishing village situated 20 minutes out of Vancouver. Take time to have some of the famous chowder or fish and chips available at one of the local restaurants while you wait for the ferry.
