Old Montreal (
French:
Vieux-Montréal) is the oldest area in the city of
Montreal,
Quebec,
Canada, with few remains dating back to
New France. Located in the borough of
Ville-Marie, the area is bordered on the west by
McGill St., on the north by
Ruelle des Fortifications, on the east by Rue Saint Andre and on the south by the
Saint Lawrence River. Following recent amendments, the district has been expanded slightly to include the
rue des Soeurs Grises in the west,
Saint Antoine St. in the north and Saint Hubert Street in the east. It also includes the
Old Port of Montreal. Most of Old Montreal was declared an historic district in 1964 by the
Ministère des Affaires culturelles du Québec.
