"MONTRÉAL, LA VILLE AUX CENT CLOCHERS." That's what it says in the tourist guide. It's probably true,
too. But what do belfries and skateboarding have in common? Nothing, really. That's an introduction. Let's
move on with more extremely important facts about Montreal and the province of Quebec. Well, first, the
population of Quebec is French-speaking. But fear not, you can also speak the Anglo-Saxon language in
Montreal. The city has a European flavor: terraces, cafés, parks and nice-looking girls. One of the main
attractions of Montreal is probably the nightlife: lots of bars, clubs and summer festivals (eg: Jazz Festival,
Humor Festivals, etc). Bars close at three in the morning and the drinking age is 18. With bodypainting at
the Loft's on Sundays, Black Mondays at the Fouf and Happy Hours at Peel's, you're sure to have a blast!
