With each step you take on the cobbled grounds lining the square at Place Jacques-Cartier, you are reminded of the rich history that lives within this vibrant French-Canadian City. The square, located in Old Montreal, was once a traditional marketplace in the late 1800s and early 1900s, but is now a gathering place for locals and tourists alike. Since it can be a bustling destination in the summer months, one of our favorite times to visit is on a cold winter’s night when the crowds have thinned. Grab a hot chocolate from a sidewalk bistro and take a stroll toward Old Port to enjoy an evening ice skate, passing the lighted trees that line the sidewalks along the way. . . . . . #AlamoDriveHappy #MoreMemoriesPerGetaway #exploremore #Quebec #Montreal #Francophile #French #Canada #TourCanada #PlaceJacquesCartier #OldMontreal #NelsonsColumn #WinterTravel #WinterAdventures #Travel #AdventureTravel #IceSkating #Cobblestone
