Place Jacques-Cartier

This place is next to the Old Port of Montreal, 5 minutes away from the metro station Champs-de-Mars.

As Spring runs close to an end, people keep coming here. There are about as many tourists as there are locals. It’s a beautiful. All Summer long, live performances are shown by volunteers and people eat on terraces or simply walk around to admire the old times architecture. The place is so special that cars are forbidden to roll there.

There are caricaturists who will draw your weird face.

There are stands which sell various items for your enjoyment.

The photo on the left is of a guy that was standing perfectly still for so long that I got bored and left.
The photo on the right is of a guy with his floating crystal ball, though I don’t know if it’s actually crystal but he makes it appear as though the ball was floating and defying all laws of gravity.

Place Jacques-Cartier
Unfortunately, like any place on Earth, it’s not all happy. Accidents happen.

Day or night, the place is filled up with happy people.
