Indigenous-Led Tour: Colonial Secrets of Old Montreal

A walking tour that smashes through the “tourist gaze” to reveal the area’s hidden histories, glossed-over facade. The Colonial Secrets of Old Montreal Walking Tour smashes through the “tourist gaze” to reveal the area’s hidden histories, glossed-over facts and dark truths. Starting at Pointe-à-Callière Museum, the site of the Ville-Marie Fort of 1642, the tour takes guests to the most notorious colonial places in Old Montreal. These include Place-Royale, the Old Seminary, and the Place D’Armes. We also visit the site of the old Hotel-Dieu Hospital and conclude the tour where colonial authorities executed a black slave woman in 1734. The tour is approximately 90 minutes and is hosted by guides with lived experience. If you enjoy the tour, please consider tipping the guides! Lastly, a trigger warning: this tour features dark stories of colonial violence and graphic descriptions of numerous brutal atrocities. This is a presentation of Hidden Montreal, Haunted Montreal's new sister company. Stay tuned for more details about other Hidden Montreat tours!

CULTURE MONTRÉAL EN CARTE

About this map

Montréal has a rich cultural offering, but information is scattered across websites, social networks, noticeboards and posters. Getting an overview can be difficult. Montréal en culture aims to simplify discovery by bringing cultural activities together in all their variety. The project is also inspired, with some nostalgia, by the weekly calendar of the cultural magazine View, which featured a varied offering, from shows to talks and from popular events to more unconventional activities. Adding a map, Montréal en culture invites you to explore that richness across the city. Still a prototype, this independent project aims to become an essential reference for cultural outings in Montréal.

The site was originally designed for desktop use. A mobile interface is now available.

A broad understanding of culture

The directory takes a broad view of culture: artistic creation, presentation, heritage, knowledge sharing, and opportunities for discovery or participation. It covers the Montréal urban agglomeration, including its associated islands. Its scope develops with the sources and activities recorded.
