ROCS Holidays 30-Day Grand Canadian Train Journey

DAY 11 WEDNESDAY, 10 JULY 2024 MONTREAL

Montréal is the largest city in Québec, set on an island in the Saint Lawrence River and named after Mt. Royal, the triple-peaked hill at its heart. Its boroughs, many of which were once independent cities, include neighbourhoods ranging from cobblestoned Vieux-Montréal to bohemian Plateau. Bilingual with French and English spoken by most locals, its eclectic culture makes it unique. Expect historic buildings, authentic French foods and a welcoming atmosphere for all. As with most cities, the wildlife nearest to the core of Montreal comprises of smaller animals like squirrels, groundhogs, skunks, raccoons and birds. In the outer regions of Quebec, larger mammals like whales, seals, caribou, bears and moose can be found, particularly at the Reserve des Laurentides.
