Marche Maisonneuve on rue Ontario & La Fermière Monument. This monument refers to Louise Mauger (1598-1690).
Born in France in 1598, she married Pierre Gadoys, around 1620, and had three children, two born in France and the last one in Quebec City. In 1648, her husband received from Paul Chomedey de Maisonneuve, the first concession of Montreal, a land of 40 acres (160,000 m2), making him the first farmer in Montreal. She was buried on March 18, 1690 in Montreal.
The monument was completed in 1915.
Montréal, c'est une ville touristique.
À part le Vieux-Montréal, le parc du Mont Royal et son belvedère sont les endroits incontournables de la ville. Il y a quelques années, j'ai eu le plaisir d'accueillir France, une amie Flickr de Vancouver. Elle pose devant une partie du centre-ville, le fleuve Saint-Laurent et la rive sud en arrière-plan.
Pour les Montréalais et les touristes, le point de vue devant le chalet du parc du Mont-Royal est un incontournable. C’est en 1906, 40 ans après l’inauguration du chemin Olmsted, que l’on remplace le belvédère rudimentaire en bois par une terrasse d’observation en demi-cercle et trois pavillons d’été reliés par des galeries.
Montreal is a tourist city.
Apart from Old Montreal, Mont Royal Park and its belvedere are the city's must-see places. A few years ago, I had the pleasure of welcoming France, a Flickr friend from Vancouver. She poses in front of a part of downtown, the St. Lawrence River and the south shore in the background.
For Montrealers and tourists alike, the viewpoint in front of the Mont-Royal Park chalet is a must. It was in 1906, 40 years after the opening of Olmsted Road, that the rudimentary wooden gazebo was replaced by a semi-circular observation deck and three summer pavilions connected by galleries.
"Lights are coming on
I'm still tryin' find my secondhand store
Made an offer, yeah
First refusal
On a jacket she swore to me was pre-war
Yeah, which war? You'll be beautiful 'til the day you die
With your hair in my hands
Snow fallin' outside
It's freezing over in Montreal
Montreal I keep slipping on this hill
I can't move forward
But I can't stand still
This rain
This rain is gonna freeze
And you've got me
You've got me on my knees
It's freezing over in Montreal
Montreal..."

The eastern half of Montreal seen from the Observatoire Place Ville Marie (on a grey day). In the foreground, left, some of the buildings of the Place des Arts (Museum of Contemporary Art, Symphony Hall); in the background, left as well, the Olympic Stadium and the tower (le Geant) holding its roof. On the right, the St. Lawrence River, the Pont Jacques Cartier, and behind it, the new harbour.
Former pavilion built by the United States for Expo 67 in Montreal, this geodesic dome was designed by architect Buckminster Fuller and was 250 feet in diameter.
This was the year of my arrival in Canada, Centennial Year, a very exciting time for the country.

The Montreal River is a rocky stream that flows northward towards the Wisconsin/Michigan U.P. border and Lake Superior. The riverbank is an inviting lowland woods with moss and vines draping the hemlocks, cedar and tamaracks.
