Why we love EC Montreal
We’re on the city’s main shopping street which is perfect for seeing the best of Montreal. You can hike up Mount- Royal and tour Old Montreal through a maze of narrow streets and admire different artistic and architectural aspects of the city, like the famous Notre-Dame Basilica.
The coolest weekend trip is seeing how maple syrup is produced, right here in Quebec. You’ll go on a tractor ride and have a traditional ‘sugar shack’ meal, smothered in maple syrup!
