Plateau (The)

The plateau is the cutest, most charming area of Montreal is you ask me, even the people are beautiful there!. Just walk the streets towards Parc lafontaine or Laurier and stop for a fresh croissant on the way, you will love the area. Oh and don't forget to bring your dog, they will find a lot of friends on the plateau. And a trip to the plateau would not be complete without a nice piknick in Lafontaine with a bottle of wine (Yes, drinking in Montreal's parks is not against the law , as long as you have food as well). I recommend you to sit near the water; there is a nice area with big rocks were you can sit, enjoy the sun and put your legs in the fresh water (oh, and look for the new duck's families, they come each year to reproduce in Lafontaine's lake...). Enjoy your nice sunny afternoon in the plateau! Julie
