Description:
Near the Sherbrooke Metro Station, Square Saint-Louis rates as one of MontrĂ©al’s prettiest old squares and is set in a turn-of-the-century French-Canadian residential quarter. In the little streets around the tree-shaded square, there are still a few attractive Victorian houses. Some now house pleasant restaurants. At the square’s eastern edge and running parallel to St. Laurent, Rue St. Denis is one of the hippest shopping, arts, and dining streets in MontrĂ©al. Historic buildings have been converted into boutiques, bistros, and cafĂ©s. At one end, St. Denis starts in the student-minded Quartier Latin neighborhood (it’s handy to UniversitĂ© du QuĂ©bec Ă MontrĂ©al and the Grande Bibliothèque) and heads west into the trendy Plateau area with its independent designers and chef-run restaurants. |
