What Summer in Montreal is really like...

Since the dawn of time, tourists to Montreal have been trying to answer one question... why is summertime in this city such a vibe?

I would think the Parc La Fontaine is named after the French Canadian politician Louis-Hippolyte La Fontaine, not because of the fountain. But yeah having a fountain in Parc La Fontaine respects the spirit XD.

[@TheNewTravel]

You are correct! I learned something today 😂

[@karima_MK]

Yiu are right, it's after him

[@glaframb]

True his last name Lafontaine means The Fountain like my last name Laframboise means The Rapsberry. in french.

[@Inmediostatvirtu]

@@glaframb D’où la confusion pour ceux qui ne connaissent pas le personnage !

[@leaucamouille3394]

I came to the comments when I heard him say it. 😂 Park is indeed named after Lafontaine, a key figure in the Patriot Rebellions of 1837 against the British colonial authorities. Lafontaine later served as our first Premier and is famous for pissing off the Anglo loyalists who rioted and 🔥burned down the Canadian Parliament in Montréal🔥 in full francophobic rage which lead to it being moved to Ottawa. He has his own monument/statue in the park at the corner of Sherbrooke and Ave. Du Parc Lafontaine just South of the pond. Hard to miss it.

[@YanTales]

Great video as always mate, the ending was cool too. Me and wife are one of those who you mentioned who chose Montreal because of your content. We migrated to Canada and chose MTL after watching your videos. You are showing our street in the Plateau in the first part of the video. Thanks for your service!

[@rafaeldelcidpinto840]

Thanks Dan for showing the Plateau. I'm a Plateau native. Been living there for 36 years, my whole life. Would love to tell you about a lot of the little secrets of the Plateau (about school and the Montreal slang that not a lot of foreigners know about but it's very cool ! )

[@SavannahWong]

Part of the "beautiful bike path" you are on is the REV - a special bike lane project that offers protected and wider paths, direct routes to major areas, and is open all year round. So good! I used to live in Montreal and I miss it so much.

[@markc119]

Greetings Dan! I live in upstate NY about 130 km from Montreal and visit every chance I can get. I agree this city has a vibe all its own--welcoming, slower paced (compared to many American cities) and feels like it was made for humans rather than motor vehicles. My fav areas are Mile End, Plateau, Little Italy and the area around LaFontaine Park. I also appreciate your vids (just subbed!) and learn something new each time. Merci Beaucoup!

[@vanastha1]

Glad to see the trees and plants all blooming!!

[@awellculturedmanofanime1246]

Bruh the ending was so good wtf much love man stay safe and dont overdo it if you feel something wrong or overwhelmed try taking a short pause or something idk how much you work but i guess you definitely feel the pressure of finance among other things on you

Good to have you back bruv

[@hutlazzz]

YO having this bike acceptences at montreal is such an individual and societal liberation from economic and logistic perspective that so many doesnt understand

[@choisam20]

I can explain why summer in Montreal is special. First winter is long, so everyone comes out. Two, the city size is small so all the major attractions are in walking distance. NYC, LA are not like that. (Santa Monica beach to grifth-something else. It could be very far in traffic) (NYC is very diverse but it kinda doesn’t have the “one-ness” feeling. There is one-ness feeling but just not as strong as Montreal people) the culturally laidback-vibe is unique to Quebec, I think. 3. I think NYC party scene and MTL party scene are both good but MTL party scene is more welcoming. (Imagine going to 1 house to another in NYC. It’s just difficult to find parking spot twice. And it becomes a hassle). And, i think it’s a lot safer to walk around (relatively to other major cities in North America). You gotta play the “city lines” video game Dan. I think you might love it! (About lens: don’t get a new lens. What you have is perfect. I don’t know for streets but for ski-vlogging, insta 360 is the way to go. (In terms of battery performance in cold weather and giving many different option of views). (Go pro is no more the leader. )

[@polishtheday]

Coming from Vancouver, I actually find Montreal quite spread out, car-centric and suburban. Even after almost twelve years here, I’m still not used to running all over town to buy herbs from Akhavan and Della Nonna tomato sauce. I’m surprised you didn’t pop into Chapeaux Henri Henri while downtown. Love checking out the place even if I never wear a hat. Great ending!

[@romansotelo7240]

0:18-0:22 My theory as to why summertime has such a vibe in Montreal is due to the greenery that it has because trees give air to people.

[@rhysguillerme2893]

Hey Dan, great vid! One note: the kouignn amann is from Brittany, and we're pretty attached to being described as being in the West (or North West) of France, not the North. Are we annoyingly attached to the distinction? You bet!
