Montréal: Life à la Montréal, Warm & Welcoming http://www.aace.org/conf/Cities/Montreal
What do you get when you combine the smarts of North America with the laid-back insouciance of Europe? 350 years of progress with the friendly nature of a village? High-tech and high style? You get the city of Montréal - an unpretentious knockout that has no idea of the effect she has on people. Why? Because the driving force behind this unique hybrid is the Montréal mantra: Get out there and celebrate life. And, it must be said, life lived à la Montréal is about as sweet as it gets. From her festivals (Montréal is the undisputed festival capital of the world), to her incredible food, to her legendary nightlife, this city has a true talent for making the very most and best out of life's little pleasures.
Located about an hour from the U.S. border in south-western Québec, Montréal is the largest French-speaking city in North America. This is not a sprawling urban centre by North American standards, and that's part of Montréal's charm. No "donut" town, there is no 6 pm exodus to parts unknown. Montrealers live, work and play in a compact downtown core. Safe, clean and green, this city is good to her citizens and guests alike, who lunch and lounge on terraces for nice, long sessions of people-watching (a sacred Montréal ritual), stroll, hike or bike on mount Royal (a natural haven right downtown), take in the sights and sounds of Old Montréal and the Old Port. This is a place that understands following one's fancy.
Montréal has an international reputation for creative excellence, not just in the traditional arts, but in cutting-edge technology, multimedia, sound and film production.
Perhaps it's the Latin blood. The passion Montrealers bring to whatever they do is felt everywhere; certainly in international tours de force like Cirque du Soleil, La La La Human Steps, Céline Dion. But you can feel it too as your chef comes to ask you truly, sincerely, how you liked your crème brûlée, and to raise a glass to your health. It's warm, it's relaxing, it's fascinating, it's thrilling. It's life à la Montréal.
When summer beckons in Montréal, everyone and everything heeds her call. The city's many parks and squares are decked out in flowerbeds, fountains, greenery and cool stretches of water. Impromptu gatherings of friends and family animate the colourful balconies, beginning at Happy Hour or "5 à 7" and continuing well into the warm nights. The entire island moves to the traffic-stopping beat of street festivals or fairs and everyone - locals and visitors - takes part in the scene on foot, bikes or blades.
Montréal is an ideal location for ED-MEDIA 2005, June 27-July 2, 2005. We look forward to seeing you there!
