A Walk Down Outremont Avenue, Montreal
Knowing very little about Montreal when I set out to rent a place in a Jewish neighborhood where we could meet up with my mother sure was taking a big chance, but I’m happy to report we hit the jackpot, as the Outremont neighborhood that is both trendy and home to a thriving Jewish community is truly lovely on so many levels. It all happened very much by chance, and while I never was much good at winning raffles, I do seem to be on a winning streak with the vacation rentals, much to my relief!
Outremont is both a neighborhood and an Avenue, and we actually rented a place on Outremont Avenue just below Bernard, a few blocks from everything we could possibly need, not to mention a few blocks from gorgeous parks, and or course just walking down the Avenue is in itself a treat, care to join me?
I only noticed the oval privacy screen after I took the photo, pretty great looking right?
A lovely park, and of course no garbage in site, not one little bit!
This apartment house is actually below Bernard, in what I’d say was once the more working class neighborhood, you know back in 1900, now of course it costs a pretty penny.
Hosta in bloom everywhere, and I mean everywhere!
Balconies are oh so important to folks here as winter is very long, and once the temps warm up, everyone spends as much time outdoors as possible…..even the tiniest balconies have tables and chairs, and of course lovely plants and flowers.
That is it for my little tour of this lovely green neighborhood, where it does rain in the summer, and where the temps were around 70F while we were there, positively dreamy!
