The Latin Quarter of Montréal

On Sunday the whole "family" went to Montréal's Latin Quarter to stroll a bit and have lunch. On Saturday Kate had come over from Toronto to see us, but had to return that afternoon. Kalen and Alyx returned to the Gite as soon as Kate drove away, so Karin and I were alone to better explore.

This neighborhood took its name from the Parisian Latin Quarter because of its artsy feel. It suffered a bit of a slump when one university relocated, but recovered when UQAM moved in. Square Saint-Louis lies at the heart of this neighborhood full of beautiful Québec-style older homes, and Rue Saint-Denis hosts many shops and cafes. We didn't have any adventures, but took lots of photos of houses and things that caught our artistic attention.
