Right in the heart of Montreal, second French speaking city after Paris, renowned for its open mind and outstretched arms, lives one of the world's largest Gay communities, known locally as 'the Village', where lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transsexuals, transvestites and transgenders all come together.

Nestled between the Latin Quarter and Old Montreal, the Village is home to over 200 establishments, clustered around St. Catherine Street and Amherst. There's an eatery to satisfy every taste and every wallet, bars and after-hours clubs featuring world-renowned DJs, not to mention the wide variety of shops and spaces dedicated to culture and the arts.

Easily accessible by Montreal's main streets, The Village can also be reached by three metro stations, the closest being Beaudry, which was the world's first public building to sport the gay community's colours on its facade.

The Village is located in the old epicenter of 19th century commercialism, and its charming streets lead to brick houses with antique doorways, balconies bursting into bloom in warm weather, and delightful hotels, each one more cozy than the next. Visiting St Pierre of the Apostle is an astounding sight, home to The Chapel of Hope, the world's first Chapel dedicated to those suffering from AIDS.

The Village brings together culture, history, and nightlife, all in one safe, friendly neighborhood. Come discover the Village, we are expecting you!
