To The Edge

To get a sense of Montreal, where it gets its 'joie de vivre,' it helps to spend time walking along its streets and vanishing into open doorways. The city is an artful place, with many public sculptures courting pedestrians along sidwalks and breeding idleness in town squares. Witness from up close, the city's distant and recent history in its old town and new city centre. Gawk at chiseled facades that do little else than offer themselves to you. Walk with some of Ville-Marie's residents alongside their monuments and listen to stories they have to tell. This book will shed light on the city in a variety of hues, so when you visit Montreal, take a walk and immerse yourself into the subject behind the cover: MONTREAL.
