Severed from downtown by the Autoroute Ville-Marie, the gracious district of Vieux-Montreal was left to decay until the last couple of decades, when developers stepped in with generally tasteful renovations that brought colour and vitality back to the area. The continent's greatest concentration of seventeenth-, eighteenth- and nineteenth-century buildings has its fair share of tourists, but it's popular with Montrealers, too - formerly as a symbolic place to air francophone grievances; more recently as a spot to while away the hours in a cafe or restaurant.
