MONTREAL - As you explore Old Montréal, you'll find yourself immersed in the past of one of North America's great cities. At
every step, you'll discover another facet of Montréal's old town and its extraordinarily rich past, from the narrow, cobblestone
streets to the sumptuous architecture, monumental greystone buildings and famous public squares. Take a romantic evening
stroll along the illuminated streets of Old Montréal-Saint-Paul, Saint-Pierre, De la Commune and Place Jacques-Cartier.
Visitors interested in 19th-century architecture will be delighted to discover the sumptuous buildings on Sainte-Hélène Street
lit by gas lamps in the evening. Almost all visitors end up at Place Jacques-Cartier sooner or later. This has been one of the
most lively spots in the whole city for over 200 years. You'll appreciate the charm of Saint-Paul Street, with its fine 19th-century stone façades, its museums and its many shops and art galleries. Notre-Dame Basilica, a magnificent Gothic Revival
church, opened in 1829. Its splendid interior was restored in 1875. Behind the Basilica, visit the Sacred Heart Chapel and a
sacred art museum. It was in this Basilica that Céline Dion made her marriage vows in December 1994. Montreal's
underground city has become a leading tourist attraction. During the summer, Montréal's parc des Îles offers you both
Québec's largest amusement park La Ronde, and one of the worlds most beautiful fireworks competition at the Benson &
Hedges International. What would you say to a real sandy beach and an hour of sailing on the lake? Or maybe a bike ride or
outing on inline skates through the marvellous Jardins des Floralies? A shimmering mosaic of water and greenery, sprinkled
throughout with attractions and events, Montréal's parc des Îles is a dream destination for enjoying leisure time or perhaps
hitting the jackpot at Montréal's Casino! The Casino de Montréal captures all the excitement, all the drama, all the
international allure of the world-class city that is its home. Montréal is known as one of the most welcoming cities in the
world. Likewise, the Casino de Montréal spares no effort to ensure you the thrill of a lifetime and unforgettable memories.
