Le Chasseur - Bed & Breakfast in Montreal
Located in the heart of downtown Montreal, the strategic site of "Le Chasseur"
Bed and Breakfast gives you the opportunity to have access to many different
faces of the city. Next to the famous Montreal Gay Village, you will find
a
incredible nightlife that will fulfill the expectations of the hardest one
to please. Few steps away from St-Denis street, you will be charmed by the
exquisite
restaurants and the countless cosy "cafés", where you can discuss and relax
in a friendly atmosphere.
" Montréal is a gay-friendly tourist destination. You'll always feel safe
and secure in this tolerant, welcoming city, and especially in the Village,
as it
is known locally, one of the largest gay neighbourhoods in the World. Beaudry
metro station, bearing the colours of the gay community, is located at the
core
of the neighbourhood, which stretches East to West along Sainte-Catherine Street,
the main business thoroughfare,
from Saint-Hubert Street to Papineau Street. The Montréal gay community, known
for its wild nightlife, is renowned for its colourful, lively unity events.
The
Divers Cité (Diverse City) gay pride parade, in August, and the massive
Black & Blue Party, in October, draw nearly half a million participants
every year. The Village is full of energy during the daytime, too; its streets
hustle and bustle with employees from nearby telecommunications (radio / TV)
companies. The neighbourhood features a wide variety of service industries,
including cafés, bistros, boutiques, antique shops, family restaurants and
exotic eateries. To really get a feel for the place, take a stroll along the
north-south
side streets between Sherbrooke Street and René-Lévesque Boulevard and admire
the carefully restored brick homes, shaded backyard gardens and
window boxes brimming over with flowers. The gay community shares this friendly
village with Montrealers of very diversified lifestyles. Throngs of students
and young professionals with a wide range of interests flock to the neighbourhood,
drawn by its lively rythms as well as the university and flourishing multimedia
firms nearby. Families and senior citizens also make this area on the edge
of downtown their home, enjoying the quality of life it offers"
