Montreal

Montreal is the largest city in Quebec, situated on an island in the St. Lawrence River and named after the hill of Mont Royal. The bustling modern city surrounds the old quarter (Vieux Montreal) containing the Note Dame Basilica, Bonsecours Market and shopping streets near the old riverside port. The city also boasts an Olympic Park built for the 1976 Olympics and a lovely Botanic Garden.

Montreal Botanic Gardens & Insectarium

Within its 75 hectares, the Jardin botanique de Montréal presents a remarkably diverse array of plants to visitors in all season through some twenty outdoor gardens and its 10 exhibition greenhouses.

The First Nations Garden, open since August 3, 2001, presents the close bonds First Nations and the Inuit have always had with the plant world. It is designed to evoke a natural environment, and is the first infrastructure of its size anywhere in Montréal dedicated to the First Nations of Québec.

The Insectarium de Montréal offers a dazzling diversity of insects, whether live or preserved, and visitors are able to observe spectacular species in all their glory within different areas.
