LIFE IN MONTRÉAL IN THE 18TH CENTURY
This permanent exhibition is presented in the vaults of the Château. The solid, thick-walled structure dominates the space now, as it did 250 years ago.
At that time, the city of Montréal was confined to what we now call Old Montreal. However, it was a city at the crossroads of important trade routes, and was influenced, throughout the years, by the Native People, the French, the British, and the Americans, among others.
The Chateau Ramezay is one of the few surviving witnesses to that era. Here, the walls speak. In the Chateau’s vaults, come discover day-to-day life as it was in 18th century Montreal.
