What if after a long day of sight seeing and exploring Montreal, you were able to retreat in the comfort of a beautiful apartment away from the lights and frenzy of the downtown core? For those who wish to relax and soak in on the day’s activities, we offer our home.
Nestled in the heart of Old Longueuil, our house is a fifteen minute drive to downtown Montreal and Old Montreal on the South Shore of the majestic St-Lawrence River.
If you prefer to avoid the regular traffic of any large city in America and not worry about parking your car, you may wish to experience Montreal’s subway system which will allow you to safely access any of Montreal’ main interest points within minutes. Our home is minutes away from Longueuil metro station. Montreal is waiting for you!
Longueuil’s origins date back to 1657 when Charles Le Moyne, a businessman from Ville-Marie (today’s Montréal), was granted land on the South Shore of the St. Lawrence River, across from Île Sainte-Hélène. He named his seigneury Longueuil in memory of his native Normandy.
Built in the late 30’s, our house, referred to as a “duplex” in French, is a perfect example of the typical Montreal architecture of that era. The house is composed of two apartments of 6 rooms each, with nine foot ceilings and beautiful original stained glasses windows.
We are a few steps from the local bakery, coffee shops and trendy bistros and restaurants of St-Charles Street
Our unique family situation allows us to offer the apartment on the second floor to visitors and professionals looking for a home away from home. You will be charmed by the front room with the large balcony overlooking St-Antoine de Padoue Cathedral. Your morning coffee will never taste the same again…
The Vieux Longueuil is home to many street festivals. Coupled with the busy Montreal schedule, you are assured to fully experience Montreal joie de vivre. Here’s a brief summary of what’s coming this summer:
• June 13th to August 15th ( every Saturday) The Loto Quebec International Fireworks
