Typically, Montréal is an easy sell. People around the world know us as that French Canadian city with an inventive culinary scene, effervescent festivals and adorable accents. We have good curb appeal, so to speak. But it’s worth scratching the surface a little to discover what we’re really about. Montréal is a one-of-a-kind city — a gateway between North America and Europe and a bilingual haven of creativity and experimentation. Here are some great resources to help potential attendees understand the true joy of Montréal.
