Here are the highlights for this destination, as chosen by AAA editors. GEMs are “Great Experiences for Members.” <br /> <br /> What could be a more logical place to begin touring Montréal than Mont-Royal Park (Parc du Mont-Royal)? In 1535 French explorer Jacques  Cartier climbed to the top of the peak on an island in the St. Lawrence<br /> <br /> River and is said to have exclaimed, “It’s a royal mountain,” when he saw the view. It’s still the view—and the opportunity to briefly escape the bustling metropolis—that draws Montréalers to the park, a AAA GEM attraction. Landscaped by Frederick Law Olmstead, the site is a favorite recreational getaway. A park landmark is the metal cross, illuminated at night, that commemorates the wooden crucifix planted there in 1643 as gratitude for the colony having been spared from a flood.<br /> <br /> The AAA GEM attraction Old Montréal (Vieux-Montréal) contains the vestiges of the city’s original settlement. Close to the river, the historic district’s narrow, cobblestone streets and old houses can be seen on foot or by horse-drawn carriage. A popular gathering site in the quarter, Place Jacques-Cartier is the perfect place to relax at one of the café-terrasses with a café au lait or beer and watch the world pass by; it’s especially lively on summer evenings with street performers, musicians and flower vendors. In The Old Port (Vieux Port) section of Old Montréal is the Montréal Science Centre (Centre des sciences de Montréal) with an IMAX theater and lots of hands-on activities for children.<br /> <br /> Also within the historic district are two other AAA GEM attractions. The Basilica of Notre-Dame (Basilique Notre-Dame), one of the glories of Montréal, has an inspirational interior handcarved in wood and decorated with 22-karat gold. Equally impressive are the long nave, illuminated by three rose windows; brilliant stained glass; religious paintings and statuary; the simple elegance of the Sacred Heart Chapel; and a dazzling evening sound and light show.

GEMs are “Great Experiences for Members.”<br /> <br /> In any language, Montréal has festivals and celebrations of one type or another practically every<br /> week—a touch of je ne sais quoi, so to speak.<br /> Though the majority take place during warm summer months—when being outdoors is a pleasure—there are fun events in winter as well, beginning with La Fete des Neiges (The Snow Fest).<br /> This festival, a Montréal tradition that takes place over 3 weekends beginning in late January,<br /> encourages everyone to come outside, join the event’s polar bear mascot Boule de Neige (Snowball) and his band of friends and celebrate winter. So grab your mittens and enjoy the imaginative ice and snow sculptures, live performances, tube slides, horse and buggy rides, ice-skating, dogsleds and sugar pie baking competition.<br /> <br /> The Montréal High Lights Festival (Festival Montréal en Lumière), 10 days in mid- to late February, calls itself “three festivals in one.” The Performing Arts part of the triad stages music, dance and theater events; the Celebration of Light features evening revelry downtown, culminating in the Montréal All-Nighter on the last day of the festival; and the Wine & Dine Experience brings together some of the finest international chefs and wine producers and the chefs from Montréal’s best restaurants.

Canada Restaurants

<span style="font-size: large;">Restaurants </span><br /> Montréal’s multiculturalism is vividly reflected in the city’s diverse restaurant scene. Add a pinch of this, a dash of that—and voilà, there you have it: the perfect Montréal dining experience. For starters, let’s begin in Old Montréal, where the city was founded in 1642.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKwVkrhJaRC6sYjWaO1yhV5kTldroLMnYoCPjhOl2KEVhZhDWIqopSZ6KxdoXzIxmp-nUUbuUKLN7_Qh2jRWDziCHRvHXPgxSbp3Z9lmpNtzAQrZcphYgCaM8lqXt7-S7CDlKm6SOKi14/s1600/canada+restaurent.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKwVkrhJaRC6sYjWaO1yhV5kTldroLMnYoCPjhOl2KEVhZhDWIqopSZ6KxdoXzIxmp-nUUbuUKLN7_Qh2jRWDziCHRvHXPgxSbp3Z9lmpNtzAQrZcphYgCaM8lqXt7-S7CDlKm6SOKi14/s1600/canada+restaurent.jpg" /></a></div> French and Asian influences give comfort food a new twist within the stone walls of<br /> Chez l’Epicier Restaurant Bar a Vin (l’épicier is French for “the grocery”). This casually elegant eatery, wine bar and grocery—where the menus are printed on paper bags and water is served from milk bottles—faces the historic Bonsecours Market.<br /> The restaurant’s fine cuisine may include selections such as arctic char, milk-fed veal carpaccio, snail shepherd’s pie and parmesan oil raviolis. Specialty gourmet items, including cheeses, sauces, oils and sorbets, are available for takeout, and guests can sip wines by the glass or bottle in the adjacent wine bar. The restaurant’s 2,000-bottle wine cellar includes many private imports and specialty wines, the majority of which are from France, with impressive selections from Burgundy and the Loire and<br /> Rhone valleys.<br /> <br /> Diners exchange the Gallic ambience of Old Montréal for the atmosphere of a Moroccan oasis when they enter La Menara. Opulent red fabric drapings create the feeling of being in a desert tent, and belly dancers entertain as guests partake of dishes such as pastilla, a chicken and almond pie; various versions of couscous; and fragrant tajines, stews typically created from chicken, fish or lamb.<br /> <br /> Other ethnic fare can be found in restaurants in Montréal’s downtown area. What first catches your eye inside Cavalli Ristorante-Bar is the lively front-to-back bar area with its stylish hot pink illuminated backdrop and the establishment’s chic, professional patrons. The restaurant’s fusion-style cuisine, Italian with a Mediterranean flair, places an emphasis

A boreal chorus frog answers back. These, and the swooshes of your paddle as you kayak across one of Northern Saskatchewan's clearwater lakes, are the only sounds heard. It has been days since you last saw a paved road or a motorized vehicle. Surrounded by boundless nature, you ply waterborne routes first explored by aboriginal peoples millennia ago, then again by fur traders before Canada was born, and now by you. Northern Saskatchewan is a kayak and canoe utopia — with picturesque lakes located only a few hours' drive from a major urban centre. In fact, it is said the province is home to 100,000 waterbodies, and this number may actually be conservative. The expansive Precambrian Shield harbours uncountable waters that blend together to form a labyrinth of paddling pathways; a virtual inland sea to discover for days, if not weeks. Each night, tent under the stars on a rocky islet, or reserve a luxury eco-cabin and enjoy five-stars while you stare at a billion more. It is a paddling paradise where time stands still — even as you move on ever-forward.
