Musee Pointe Calliere


From Montreal Day 3 - Musee Pointe a Calliere
This awesome museum features the very foundations of old Quebec. Fortunately they allow some pictures, and we remain ever so grateful to have two awesome guides in Michael and Diane.

There is also a display of modern day life in Montreal.

Regrettably, photography is not allowed in the upstairs galleries, but thought you'd enjoy would we could photograph. As seen from the gift shop window, these apartments were originally built for the athletes in the 1976 Olympic Games.

Now outside, we show a little of what we see on these streets in Montreal. I love the fact that bicycles and scooters are available to rent anywhere.

And finally, a Montreal parking dispenser. You put in your money and designate your parking space number. 1 machine for the block where you parked and across the street, not to mention extra income for the city, since you have no way of knowing if there is any time left on the meter!
