Montréal - Mont-Royal

 
Mont-Royal rises 233 m (765 ft) above the city and is the green lung near the city center. A stroll through this lovely park enables the visitor to see monuments from Jacques Cartier to King George VI, to spend some time by the Lac-aux-Castors and to have a look at the cemeteries on the western slope where the city's different ethnic groups have rested in peace together for centuries.

From the summit, or rather from a platform below the cross, there unfolds a magnificent panorama of the whole of the 51 km (32 mi.) length of the Île de Montréal and the St Lawrence. On clear days the view extends to the Adirondack Mountains in the USA.
