I have just returned from a 5 day visit to what I believe is one of N.America's great Cities.
I lived there for 30 years, and in the past 25 years I have visited many times.
Old Montreal fascinates me. The port has been built up in modern style and is clearly viewed from the road to Le Casino (Largest in the World !) I was hoping to see a Radisson ship !!
Cruise ships dock at the very area where Champlain discovered and founded the city.
If anyone intends to visit the City, please e-mail me and I will give my advice on everything depending on desires and tastes.
I would not suggest renting a car. The Montreal drivers consider driving as a sport. They tend to intimidate and bluff to the nth. degree.
