The Village
Description
Located partially in the Latin Quarter, this is one of the largest gay neighborhoods in North America. Although known mostly for its wild nightlife, the area bustles with dozens of cafes, bistros, boutiques, antique shops, restaurants and taverns. There are also beautifully renovated homes, lovely gardens and a proliferation of flowers. August is the time for the Divers/Cité gay pride parade, which, together with the huge Black and Blue party in October, attracts nearly half a million participants.
I didn't know what to expect and was more than pleasantly surprised. I had a fantastic time in Montreal. Stayed on Rue St Catherine and enjoyed the night life, clubs and restaurants in the area. Everyone was friendly and very welcoming to this American from Phoenix. WILD TIME!!!!!
Touring the city and the gay village were made very easy with an all welcome service called "LookOut Info" of Montreal, Quebec, Canada. They do offer a list of gay community details for free on their website with much more added for all to see daily. They also have a city tour travel service network to help you get around the city plus even helpful suggestions too. As any globe traveller would appreciate their fantastic services upon arrival or before arriving too. Your experience to this great international city of the world will be to the restaurant flavours of their French culture also. Please enjoy your trip, as much as we have this year. We plan to return again very soon. So "Bon Voyage" (good trip) as the French say !

The best place in the world for TV, TG, gay and lesbian people. Everybody is so warm and friendly and there is a lot of places to go out, restaurants, bars, boutique...
What a fantastic GUEST HOUSE situated off of Sainte Catherine directly in front of one of the nicest City Parks in the area and some very nice and beautiful looking homes in the area.
not gay? go during the day. lots of great food and shops. take a walk off st. catherine street and check out the quaint and quiet part of the village. take a walk down st. rose from champlain to baudry. if you're still there when the sun sets, stay and check out the night life.
If you're looking for variety, electric nightlife, chic style and a really tolerant and relaxed lifestyle, Montr�al is the place to go. Le Village, the gay district, offers all that on a smaller scale. Good clubs, better music and even better prices. And hordes of gorgeous boys everywhere... So you're coming? Just don't forget to pack something else besides jeans and sneakers, we're talking about a city where everybody is dressed up with style and taste :)
