Curious About ... Montreal (1x4)

: 24, 2015

Why did the French settle here? And why is French still the official language here (as well as English)? Why is there a Paris Metro Stop in the middle of the city? Why is Notre-Dame Basilica bathed in blue? And why does it slope downwards towards the altar? Why does the Hotel de Ville (City Hall) look like DC’s Eisenhower Building and why does the Bank of Montreal look like the Pantheon? And is there really an archaeological dig going on under your feet at Place Royal?
