Hochelaga, an Iroquoian village visited by Jacques Cartier on October 1535, gave its name to the Archipelago situated at the confluence between St. Laurent and Ottawa river. The largest of its islands is known today as Montreal.
An enthralling blend of North American fervor and European charm, with a dynamic cultural scene, rich gastronomy, festival after festival, gathering places where creativity is expressed without limits... bilingual Montréal is a fun city to visit and to make home.
