Montreal is a fusion of cultures.

     A North American city where the slim majority, or 52.4 percent, of its 3.6 million metropolitan area inhabitants speak French – the second largest city in Canada is also the second largest primarily French-speaking city in the world, after Paris.

     Its French origins, combined with English and immigrants from every corner of the globe, and its setting in stunning Quebec, makes Montreal one of the most unique cities in the world.

     Known as the only city in the world where the “sun rises in the south”, this geographical anomaly is due to the locals. The city borders the St Lawrence River, and locals say that's south, looking toward the United States – they ignore the fact the river runs almost north and south at that point.
