One year has passed and the project bore its first visible (or, rather, walkable) fruit. <br><br> The $40-million Place des Festivals plaza was unveiled last month with an inaugural show featuring fluttering multi-colored water jets (a rather expensive spectacle, opined some local journalists) and packs of awe-stricken tourists enjoying the last warm days of Montreal's short summer. <br><br> Having snubbed the inauguration festivities, I went by with my camera to take a look a few days later...

You might think this is an overstatement - after all, there's almost a year left! But in fact, in this short year, one of the most important concert spaces, the plaza between Place des Arts and Rue de Bleury will have to be completely redone. The models and renderings for the new Place des Festivals were made public a few days ago and the city's mayor took the opportunity to assure everybody the project is "on schedule, on budget"...

Slavito http://www.sitebits.com/2007/habitat-67-2007.html Fri, 09 Nov 2007 02:20:00 EST I've met quite a few people in Montreal, and all of them surprised me with the same statement: "I've never been to La Grande Bibliothèque". Worse, that would happen immediately after I'd answer the most common question, which is: "What have you liked the most in Montreal so far?" La Grande Bibliothèque is definitely one of the top things on my list and when I mention it many people seem surprised...

Until January 8, 2006 you can visit Provence at the <a href="http://www.sitebits.com/canada/montreal/attractions/mtl-mmfa.html">Musée des Beaux-Arts</a> in Montreal, for the exhibition "Right under the Sun. Landscape in Provence, from Classicism to Modernism"... Ree http://www.sitebits.com/2005/provence-in-montreal.html Sat, 22 Oct 2005 00:00:00 EDT
