On our way out of Quebec City we finally found a place that could fill our propane tank which was getting a little low. Montreal was calling so we took highway 20 without any further sightseeing. We arrived in Longueuil just across the river from Montreal where there is a campground at the marina with a nearby river shuttle to Old Montreal.

The river shuttle runs every hour and takes about 30 minutes with one stop at Jean Drapeau Park. Montreal was full of festivals. An Oriental festival was the first we found, right at the port with music, food, crafts and clothing from various countries. We walked through Old Montreal and up St. Laurent Blvd to Schwartz’s to have an early smoked meat dinner. The line outside wasn’t too long but the small restaurant was buzzing inside.

On our way back, we stopped at a design and fashion festival at Place Des Arts and enjoyed all the displays and activities including a dance competition, fashion show and a performance by a great drummer.

Dead tired we took the shuttle back to our campground and enjoyed the Montreal skyline by night.
