    Place Jacque Cartier
    Anton K.

    Place Jacques-Cartier is a square between rue Notre-Dame and rue de la Commune in the Old Montreal section. It is a somewhat steep street which at the top has a replica of the Admiral Horatio Nelson statue, the original was removed in 1997. This is the area where the gardens of the Chateau Vaudreuil once stood in 1723. The square was named in 1847 after Jacque- Cartier, the explorer who claimed Canada for the French crown. Today, Place Jacques-Cartier is lined with restaurants, shops and auberges. Street artists and kiosks are visible during the summer while lighted trees decorate the Christmas season. The street has classical Parisian style terraces. The oldest restaurant, Saint Amable lies in this area. An original piece of the historic fortress wall of Montreal can be found in the basement of Auberge du Vieux-Port.. The side streets host an assortment of craft shops, boutiques and restaurants. It is a car-free pedestrian zone.

    Place Jacques-Cartier in Old Montreal has its charm in different seasons. But of course it is the prettiest during springs and summers when all the flowers are blooming. Numerous bistro and bars lining up both side of the Square with outside patio area. There are also live entertainment: performers, musicians, stand up comedians and more. Quite enjoyable for an after dinner stroll.
