Montreal ... de tout coeur! Si le coeur vous en dit, suivez-nous dons les arteres de Montreal. On s'y amuse et l'on y vit passionne- ment a l'heure quebecoise, au rythme americain, avec une tou- che europeenne. Le metro et ses quarante-huit stations sont une oeuvre d'art et de technique facile d'acces et d'utilisation, securitaire en tout point. La \"ville sous la ville\" est la reponse de Montreal a !'affluence du centre-ville et a la rigueur de l'hiver. Ce paradis souterrain de leche-vitrine lui merite le titre de premiere ville du 21 e siecle. Contrastant, le Vieux-Montreal detaille plus de trois siecles d'his- toire. Au sud de l'Tle, en lisiere du Saint-Laurent ce vieux quartier nous donne le pouls des premieres pulsations de Ville-Marie, devenue Montreal. Les rues y sont truffees de botiments historiques: l'eglise Notre-Dame, le seminaire Saint- Sulpice, le marche Bonsecours et le Choteau Ramezay. En plein coeur, la Place Jacques-Cartier ou debouche la ruelle des artistes. Les Ties de Terre des Hommes sont tout pres, un reve d'evasion, un depaysement au goat de la cul- ture et de la science. Adjacente au pare d'amusement, la Ronde offre une ambiance pour toute la famille. En bordure de ces attrac- tions, !'Aquarium de Montreal a rassemble une extraordinaire galaxie de vie marine. Un reservoir de 20,000 gallons d'eau, une tapisserie de 2,000 poissons exoti- ques dont les mouvements tor- ment sans cesse de nouveaux motifs. Une visite au Planetarium Dow est une experience audio-visuelle merveilleuse et inoubliable. Les visiteurs, de tous les ages, vivent drome, les piscines et les aires le spectacle de l'univers dons exterieures. Les caracteristiques de toute sa splendeur. Face au pare chacun de ces botiments font du Olympique, le jardin Botanique de pare Olympique un site unique en Montreal, le troisieme plus grand sa qualite et sa versatilite.

Visitors of all ages are treated to the splendours of the Universe. Opposite the Olympic Park, the lush Montreal Botanical Garden - the third largest in the world - grows close to 20,000 species and varieties representing the Earth's flora . The Olympic Park contains the finest sporting facilities available: the stadium, the velodrome, swim- ming pools and outdoor areas. Each of the Park's original build- ings makes the Olympic site unique for its quality and versatil- ity. Its architecture will undoubt- edly become a historic monument at some far off point in time .. . What else does Montreal have? • Theatres, shows, cinemas with the most up-to-date displays of modern artistic achievement • Two thousand restaurants of which a hundred have given Mon- treal its reputation for excellent cuisine • Three internationally-recognized universities • A multitude of tiny hamlets with their own particular ethnic origins where you can stroll through various countries, generations or lifestyles. • A veritable parade of boutiques, cafes, terraces, bistros, book stores, parallel cinemas, tea rooms can be found from Saint-Denis to Prince-Arthur Streets, and in Carre Saint-Louis.
