Place Jacques-Cartier, Montréal
-
The magnetic center of VieuxMontréal, this square offers a variety of stores, clubs and restaurants, whilst being enlivened by street performers and horsedrawn calèche rides. This is a wonderful spot to arrange meetings, take breaks from sightseeing, sit in the sun with a good book or simply people-watch. Look out for an entertaining troupe called the Old Montréal Ghost Trail located just south of the square, who offer tours of the city’s eerier past (see Place Jacques-Cartier & Place de la Dauversière).
