I spent just under a week solo travelling in Montreal, Quebec this summer. It has now firmly established a place in my mind as the coolest city in Canada!

I tried my best with the pronunciations, haha.

    First, I want to congratulate you on how you have been able to make your viewers feel the coolness of Montreal. Secondly, I want to congratulate you on the quality of the French word pronunciation. It shows that you value the importance of respecting the language of Montreal’s majority who are French speakers.

    We lived on the plateau for 6 years before moving back down to Michigan for work. I have to say this video brought a tear to the eye. Very fond memories of Montreal.
  • This is an exquisitely produced video, congratulations. I am born and raised in Montreal and you showed perspectives on the city that I had not realized existed. It’s wonderful to experience my city through your eyes, you make me feel proud and grateful that you appreciate the richness of Montreal. Thank you so much
  • @ponfed
    Montreal c'est ma ville. Je l'aime depuis ma naissance. Thank you for having shown it through anothers eyes
  • I just came across this and wanted to say how much I enjoyed it! You gave a fantastic snapshot of the city and visited some places you don't usually see. Thank you for sharing!
  • @mikexbox1
    I've lived in Montreal all my life, and have always said that this city has a special charm to it! Thank you for capturing that beauty in this video, amazing content!
  • Très bonne vidéo. Félicitations pour votre curiosité et vos commentaires faits sur un ton posé et très cool. Revenez nous voir, on vous aime 😊
  • I lived in Montreal from 96-09. You made me very nostalgic. No other city like it in the world. One thing that changed for the better: In 96 there were very few bike lanes and no one rode to commute. Now the total opposite
  • ive lived for 19 years in the south shore of montreal and theres nothing better than a summer day walking in montreal with the sunbeam on the skin and the fresh wind .
  • Watching this video made me tear up as I am temporarily located in Switzerland and I miss my Montréal. You showed it so beautifully 😭😭😭
  • @RebecaAiimee
    This was so peaceful to watch. You showed my city is such a beautiful way. I love re exploring it again and again, but my favourite spot is the Plateau of course. Simply walking around is a pleasure, especially on a summer day. Glad you got to experience it!
  • The cinematography and editing of this video was so good. I don't normally comment on videos but this just stood out to me so much (in a good way). Great job!
  • What a charming, delightful and inspiring glimpse you've created of my city. You've truly captured the spirit of Montreal (I like the fact that you chose the Main deli over Schwartz -- a deli I regularly frequent as I live 5 minutes away). Thanks for your clip, and please return for a winter exposé!
  • I love your style. Love the voice over, the choice of music, and the overall atmosphere of the video. Just a matter of time before the channel blows up! Oh and Montreal looks amazing as well :)
  • @magicmike7198
    I live in the suburbs of Montreal and I never go to town. I hate it. Now, you made me fall in love with my own city. I feel like living in an endless romantic comedy in that very city you so beautifully showed us. Thank you for that.
  • @canadian0099
    Not sure why this popped up into my recommended but I'm glad it did. Montreal holds a special place in my heart and always will. Every year for our anniversary my now fiance and I take a trip down to visit where it all began for us 3 years ago. She adores Montreal now like I always have and we look forward to it yearly.
  • @GreenEyes73
    Always happy to see people enjoying my beautiful city.
  • @emcote
    You did an amazing job depicting the beauty of this city! I used to live in Montreal back in University. Your storm scene took me right back to the day I moved into my first apartment :)
  • You did a amazing work to show how actually beautiful Montréal can be. Thank you and I really hope you had fun
