Bike Tour of Montreal (3)

Continuing farther along the river, you reach the old city.

This is where you find restaurants, novelty items, tea shops.

In the place where the city was founded, a colonial building was replaced by a modern museum. For Montreal, this seems appropriate.

 

The interior of the Notre Dame Basilica is decorated with a 19th-century lack of restraint. Here, one of the biggest events in recent decades was Celine Dion's wedding.

This window depicts the beginning of the city in, I believe, 1604.

Instructing the natives: in what, I'm not sure.
