Live broadcast of Mount Royal Avenue Mount in Montreal, Canada. Montreal occupies three-quarters of the island of Montreal, the largest of the 234 islands of the Oshlaga archipelago, one of three archipelagos located at the confluence of the Ottawa River and the St. Lawrence River.
Montreal is a city with a tangible French colonial history that began in the 16th century. At first, on the site of modern Montreal was a missionary settlement, which soon after the conquest of New France by the British in 1763 turned into a center of the fur trade.
The location on the banks of the St. Lawrence River played an important role in the city's development as a transport, industrial and financial centre. Since the canadian Confederation in 1867, Montreal has been the largest metropolitan area in the country until it was surpassed by Toronto in the 1970s.
French Canadians make up the majority of Montreal's population, making it the second most French-speaking city in the world (after Paris). However, the validity of this allegation is sometimes called into question by similar statistics on the population of Kinshasa and Algeria.
Despite the demographic situation, the city's economy has long developed in accordance with the interests of the English-speaking minority. Montreal has long attracted immigrants from all over the world, so it is considered one of the most cosmopolitan cities in North America. At the same time, Montreal has an extraordinary charm, liveliness and fun, along with unsurpassed modernity. +
Even a simple walk through the streets of the city will be remembered for a long time, especially if you go to Old Montreal with its cobbled streets and ancient architecture, which open a window into the history of the city.
