Discover modern Montreal through this audioguide; It’s truly a feast for your ears!

Why was Montreal a railway hub and how did it become the metropolis of Canada at the beginning of the 20th century? What urban planning and architectural trends did Montreal spearhead in the 1960’s? What were the conflicting ambitions and visions that brought about the development of Montreal in the 20th century? Starting in Montreal’s Old Port and ending on the edge of the modern downtown core, this walking tour answers all these questions and more.

Guided by the voice and music of composer Antoine Bédard, you will experience a whole chapter in 20th century history and architecture as you walk along the streets of the city. In addition, you will hear accounts from some of the creators of the works visited – distinguished artists and architects, as well as historians, urban planners, journalists and politicians. Their testimonials will open your eyes and mind to the often unappreciated modernity of the surrounding landscape. A custom-made musical score and soundtrack will transport you as it subtly evokes the materials, forms, and eras of this district.

Offer yourself two hours of walking, discovery and relaxation: you'll never see the city the same way again.
