Guidebook for Montréal
Parks & Nature
That park is at the center of our city. You'll love it for the view and the hikes you'll be able to take. During winter time you usually can skate on the beaver lake. You'll have great view of the city. If you want to make a good hike or some jogging you can start at the parking lot at the top and zigzag down to Parc street. The whole thing could take you 2 hours. On Sunday you'll be able to see the drums near DuParc Street. Ask me for more info. The Michelin Guide to Montreal, state that Mount Royal is an extinct volcano. The mountain is not a traditional volcano as such. However, it is the deep extension of a vastly eroded ancient volcanic complex, which was probably active about 125 million years ago, so don't panic we should be good.

Designed to host all manner of acoustic ensembles, the new concert hall can accommodate large symphony orchestras and smaller groups, soloists, instrumentalists, vocal recitals, choirs, jazz musicians, and pop artists. The Maison symphonique’s stage can hold up to 200 choristers and 120 musicians.
A structural shell (the crown) envelops the hall, insulating it from all exterior sounds and vibrations. In the Maison symphonique de Montréal, 70% of surfaces are covered in wood.
Built as part of a public-private partnership (PPP), the Maison symphonique de Montréal’s acoustic design was created by Russell Johnson. Under this PPP, Groupe immobilier Ovation, headed by SNC-Lavalin, was responsible for the design, construction, and opening of the Maison symphonique de Montréal.
The Maison symphonique de Montréal is reserved for the Orchestre symphonique de Montréal 240 days a year; Place des Arts is responsible for the hall’s programming for all other musical organizations.
