Follow the waterfront from Vieux-Port de Montréal toward the working edge of the St. Lawrence, pausing at places that frame the river as a route for movement, exchange, and public life. You will see a park, a memorial, an attraction, a quay, a museum, a church, and port landmarks gathered into one walk. Along the way, the route shifts between open water, historic Montreal, and the structures that keep attention on the harbour. Take it for a focused look at how the Old Port’s spaces connect Montreal to the river.
