Harvard de Montréal

For all the Francophiles among you, the Université de Montréal is kind of like the French-speaking Harvard in Canada. The second-largest French-speaking university in the world, it has more than 55,000 students. Maybe because it’s on the mountain far from downtown and feels removed from the rest of the city, you’ll find an array of cultural events and happenings that remain virtually unknown to those outside the area.

Nearby Chemin de la Côte-des-Neiges is a lively street for strolling, with cafes, bookstores and a green market, the Marché Côtes-des-Neiges (cnr Chemin de la Côte-des-Neiges & Rue Jean- Brillant), open 24 hours a day in summer. A splendid place to while away a few hours is the indie bookstore Librairie Olivieri (5219 Chemin de la Côte-des-Neiges), which also has an excellent bistro serving poached salmon, magret de canard (duck breast) and changing daily specials.

From here you’re also within walking distance of the Oratoire St-Joseph, a great spot to visit at sunset. Two handy metro stations – Côte-des-Neiges and Université de Montréal – provide easy access to the area.
