Notre Dame Basilica
The Notre-Dame church was built here in 1672. By 1824, the congregation outgrew the church and the cornerstone for this beautiful basilica was laid in 1824 and when it was completed, it became the largest church/cathedral in all of North America and remained so for over 50 years!
This is also the place where Celine Dion and her husband Rene Angelil were married and also where Rene's funeral was held.

Meeting Duke
And once you meet the horse and know his name.....
You end up on the buggy riding around the town!
What a fun way to see Old Montreal!
St Paul Street. A fun, cobblestone street in Old Town with lots of fun restaurants and shops.
Verdict: No. Maybe it's because we came here straight from QC and all liked QC so much more. But whatever the reason, none of us fell in love with this city. It didn't have the European charm that QC had. It's a nice city and has a lot to offer, but it's not a must-do.
Price: Notre Dame Basilica is $6/adults and $4/children. Ages 0-6 are free. The horse and buggy ride is $45 American or $53 Canadian. Cash only.
