Montreal is the largest city in the province of Quebec, in Canada. It sits on an island in the St. Lawrence River, at the foot of a hill called Mont Royal. People here mostly speak French, but you often hear English too. For thousands of years the island was a meeting place for Indigenous Peoples. In the language of the Kanien'kehá:ka, the Mohawk, it is called Tiohtià:ke.
Keşfedilecek duraklar
Place d'Armes
Place d'Armes is the most famous square in Vieux-Montréal. Notre-Dame Basilica faces it, and all around stand buildings from three different centuries, from the 1600s to the 1900s.
Place D'Youville
Place D'Youville is a long square in the western part of Vieux-Montréal. Beneath it lies the story of a vanished river, a hospital and a market.
Pointe-à-Callière
Pointe-à-Callière is Montreal's museum of archaeology and history. In front of it opens Place Royale, the city's first market square.
Rue Saint-Paul
Rue Saint-Paul is the oldest street in Montreal. Narrow and gently curving, it follows the river and runs through all of Vieux-Montréal.
Vieux-Port
The Vieux-Port is Montreal's Old Port, on the St. Lawrence River. Today it is a park with promenades and bike paths, open to everyone.
Marché Bonsecours
The Marché Bonsecours is a large covered market from the 1800s in Vieux-Montréal. After its restoration, the building found new uses.
Place Jacques-Cartier
Place Jacques-Cartier is a long, sloping square in the heart of Vieux-Montréal. It links City Hall, at the top, to the port, at the bottom.
Champ-de-Mars
The Champ-de-Mars is a park in Vieux-Montréal, behind City Hall. Here you can see the remains of the stone walls that surrounded the city in the 1700s. Today it is a park open to everyone.
The sights along the route
The walk crosses Vieux-Montréal, the oldest part of the city. It follows cobbled streets and passes squares that once held markets. There is also a large covered market from the 1800s. It even reaches the old harbour, where ships unloaded goods from all over the world. You will discover the rest stop by stop.
There are eight stops and about two and a half kilometres on foot, almost all on flat ground. Plan on about three hours of play, plus your breaks. The route does not return to the starting point and ends near a metro station.
History and culture, lived through play
Every stop tells a piece of history. There are builders, merchants, sailors and printers. There are questions about houses and squares, riddles, anagrams and small logic puzzles. The questions are designed for children from age 9 and their parents.
You don't need to know everything already. Many answers can be found by looking carefully at what is in front of you, others by reasoning together. Always cross at crosswalks when the white walking figure lights up. Winters are very cold and cobblestones can be icy: dress warmly and walk slowly.
An adventure that continues
Once the hunt is over, Montreal still has plenty to offer families. On Mont Royal there is a large park with trails, a lake and a lookout over the city. In winter people go sledding and skating there.
A quiet bike path runs along the Lachine Canal. In the east of the city there is a large botanical garden. Every neighbourhood has its own story: the next hunt is waiting for you.
