Montreal

You can't deny it; the French have style.

And Montreal, The City of A Hundred Bell Towers (la ville aux cent clochers), has a lot to show for the French influence.

Last week, I had the chance to travel to one of my favorite cities, Montreal. The "City of Mary" has a rich history and beautiful, old world architecture. You can find cobbled streets, beautiful churches (a replica of St. Peter's Basilica, for example), and statuesque homes on your daily strolls. Warm, cozy cafes and classy boutique shops are reminiscent of the streets of Paris, where you can see even the busiest of people enjoying a sip of espresso or laughing with a dear friend.

Montreal, je t'aime!
