From Old Montréal, all roads south lead to the Old Port and an up-close-and-spectacular view of the St. Lawrence River. 

As you stand on the shores of this mighty waterway, you'll see why the fur trading post established here by a group of French settlers in 1611 grew to become North America's largest commercial hub. 

Today, impressive harbour-front facilities include a 2.5-kilometre-long recreational park along the river with promenades for  just strolling about, a state-of-the-art Science Centre, with interactive exhibits, a group movie game and an IMAX® theatre, river cruises for romantic dinners, bouquinistes, vendors of rare books, and warm, friendly bars where you can relax over a drink of wine or a latté with a clear view of the action. If you are lucky you will be part of the voyagers who are in the harbour with a cruise ship who are exploring the Old Port and Old City just like you.

Cabaret du Roy

If we get enough people (20+) - A large number of tables have been reserved for this gastronomical experience. We rediscover old table customs of another period with a great team of musicians and historical characters designed to create the New-France festive atmosphere at the beginning of the eighteenth century. Nothing's been left out: huge candelabras hang from the ceiling, a fireplace is used to do some of the cooking right in the dining-room, antique furniture is all over the place, and the staff is all dressed up in ancient costumes. The entire setting is magnificent and will make you travel through time.
