Rue Notre-Dame is quite a long street. It is one of the oldest streets of the city, dating to the mid-17th century. We enjoyed walking the length of the street taking in grand old, and not so old buildings, like the Notre-Dame Basilica, the Bank of Canada, the Chateau Ramezay, the City Hall and many others, along with some interesting monuments. There are hundreds of shops here and we did plenty of window shopping too!

A great Street for a walk down. In addition to all the restaurant and shops you will also I pass City Hall, Nelson’s column Notre Dame etc and many other must be seen sights. Takes about an hour to do the length

We walked around this area this evening after dinner. At one corner of the square depicted in the Trip Advisor photo there is a very tall bronze of a women in a Dior suit holding a poodle. And that is exactly what the plaque below her read, in French. The English translation referred to her as “ an Englishman holding a pug” Gave us a good chuckle

Notre Dame Street is like being in Europe -, maybe even better. Notre Dame Cathedral is a must see - it's where Celine Dion got married, where the funeral services of Prime Minister Trudeau were held, and where millions of tourists pray each year. The other parts of this famous street contain the City Hall of Montreal, on the steps of which President De Gaulle made his infamous "Quebec Libre" speech. It inflamed the entire Province of Quebec and embroiled its citizens in an on-going battle for separation from Canada - that's history, big time.
The shops, boutique hotels and great restaurants also adorn Notre Dame Street - and you might recognize where Robert DeNero made his movie. The sites are a pleasure to see. Yes, there are a few tourist trap shops with souvenirs made in China, so be careful - just avoid them. Stay at one of the hotels because they really are very charming and the crissants at breakfast are a real mouth-treat.
Enjoy Notre Dame - it's a landmark, it's historical it's a fantastic experience - oh, wear comfortable shoes.

If browsing through quaint and stuffy shops full of bric a brac and treasures from Granny's attic is your cup of tea, then this is the way to spend an afternoon. THere are many shops along rue Notre Dame were you can find other people's castoffs and many a fine antique.

Amazing street filled with lots of Old World Charm. Notre Dame Cathedral is the next best thing to the original in Paris. Forever impressive in its replication. Oh Montreal, I love you.

My knowledge of Rue Notre Dame is the stretch from Mountain Street to Atwater. This section is full of antique shops and quaint restaurants. It is somewhere different for the tourist which you may not be told about in the Tourist offices but gives you a sense of a local residential area within easy walking distance from downtown.

Like Notre Dame for Antiques , ArtGalleries, up and Coming restaurants and just to walk around on a Fall day or in May.
Like to support the small businesses rather than Walmart !

What is the predominant architectural style of this street in Montreal?
Written March 26, 2019
I’m no architectural expert either but a lot of documents mention French gothic, like Notre Dame in Paris. Well worth a visit even to the non architectural experts.

Parking - Why does the City of Montreal not have cameras in their sponsored Stationnement de Montreal parking lots (45 Rue St-Jacques, specifically)? My car and at least 1 other (tourists - non-Quebec plates) were broken into (smashed windows) within 30 minutes of arriving and parking. Police and local businesses know about the frequency. Terrible inaction by City of Montreal in a major tourist area. Either suggest a safe place to park on your website or put an attendant or cameras as a deterrent. Didn't go on any tours because of this incident. Not going back. DO NOT PARK THERE.
