For this Wednesday Walk Challenge organised by @tattoodjay, I'm taking you to a beautiful spot in Montreal, on l'avenue du Parc which separates Parc Jeanne Mance from Mont Royal in the heart of the Plateau district.
Pour ce Wednesday Walk Challenge organisé par @tattoodjay, je vous amène dans un magnifique endroit à Montréal, sur l'avenue du Parc qui sépare le Parc Jeanne Mance du Mont Royal au cœur du quartier du Plateau.
Between avenue des Pins and Mont Royal street, the Avenue du Parc runs through two of Montreal's major parks, Parc Jeanne Mance and Mont Royal. This is Montreal's main park, designed by Frederick Law Olmsted (who also designed New York's Central Park), the city's green lung.
Entre l'avenue des Pins et la rue Mont Royal, l'avenue du Parc traverse deux parcs importants de Montréal, le parc Jeanne Mance et le Mont Royal. Ce parc est le principal de Montréal, il a été dessiné par Frederick Law Olmsted (aussi concepteur du Central Park de New-York), poumon vert de la ville.

My walk begins on Rachel street, which bisects Parc Jeanne Mance. This park pays tribute to Jeanne Mance, a nurse who co-founded the city in 1642. It's located at the foot of Mount Royal, where you can play all kinds of sports: tennis, baseball, football, running, etc. in summer, and skating, hockey and cross-country skiing in winter.
Ma balade commence par la rue Rachel qui coupe le parc Jeanne Mance en deux. Ce parc rend hommage à Jeanne Mance, une infirmière qui a co-fondé la ville en 1642. Il se situe au pied du Mont Royal avec la possibilité de faire un peu tous les sports, tennis, baseball, football, course à pied... en été et patinage, hockey et ski de fond pendant l'hiver.
I really like this tree with its rather deformed trunk. I don't know whether it's due to a gall or something else. But it makes for some interesting shapes. At this time of the year, the Parc Jeanne Mance is being transformed 🔽. On the left, the American football pitch is being repaired. In the middle, the paddling pool and children's play area are also getting a makeover. And on the right at the back, the elements of the ice rink are being installed.
J'aime beaucoup cet arbre avec son tronc assez déformé. Je ne sais pas si cela est dû à une galle ou autre chose. Mais cela donne des formes intéressantes. Le Parc Jeanne Mance est en plein transformation 🔽. Sur la gauche, le terrain de football américain est en pleine réparation. Au milieu, la pataugeoire et les jeux pour enfants sont aussi en train de se refaire une beauté. Et à droite au fond, les éléments de la patinoire sont en cours d'installation.
We cross Avenue du Parc to reach Mount Royal at the George Etienne Cartier monument. Looking towards the city centre, we can see the Mordecai-Richler Pavilion, named after the Canadian writer. Its restoration in 2019 caused a bit of a scandal in 2017 given its price tag (over $700,000 CAD) 🤑.
Nous traversons l'avenue du Parc pour rejoindre le Mont Royal au niveau du Monument George Etienne Cartier. En regardant vers le centre ville, on peut apercevoir le Pavillon Mordecai-Richler, nommé d'après l'écrivain canadien. Sa restauration en 2019 a fait un peu scandale en 2017 vu son prix (plus de 700,000 $CA).
Turn your head the other way and you'll see the George Etienne Cartier Monument, dedicated to the Canadian politician who played an important role in the Confederation of Canada in 1867. The monument was designed in 1919 by the artist George William Hill. In fine weather at weekends, the steps are occupied by drummers until late at night. Dancing and smoking 😀.
Si on tourne la tête de l'autre côté, on voit le Monument George Etienne Cartier dédié à l'homme politique canadien qui a joué un rôle important dans la Confédération cannadienne en 1867. Le monument a été conçu en 1919 par l'artiste George William Hill. Aux beaux jours pendant les weekends, les marches sont occupées par des joueurs de percussions jusqu'à tard dans la nuit. Ca dance et fume 😀.
At the foot of the monument, at the start of various trails, there is a sign showing the map of Mount Royal. I'll have to show you all this in a future Wednesday Walk, especially from the Chalet and Beaver Lake.
Au pied du monument, au départ de différents sentiers, il y a un panneau montrant la carte du Mont Royal. Il faudra que je vous fasse découvrir tout cela dans un futur de Wednesday Walk, surtout du Chalet et du lac aux Castors.
I really like this reproduction of Mount Royal with the relief and the main buildings, really cool. You can see that it's an ancient volcano, a very ancient volcano (around 125 to 135 million years ago). There 🔽 is the start of the main path up to the top of Mount Royal (233 metres high), perfect for cycling.
J'aime beaucoup cette reproduction du Mont Royal avec le relief et les principaux bâtiments, vraiment cool. On voit bien que il s'agit d'un ancien volcan, très ancien ( il y a environ 125 à 135 millions d'années). On retrouve 🔽 le départ du chemin principal qui monte au sommet du Mont Royal (233 mètres de hauteur), parfait en vélo.
To get to rue Mont Royal, follow the tree-lined Avenue du Parc, where you can forget about the cars driving by. / FR : Pour rejoindre la rue Mont Royal, on suit l'Avenue du Parc bordée de très grands arbres ce qui permet d'oublier les voitures qui circulent tout près.
For those who know me a little, it's hard for me not to put StreetArt in my posts 😀. On the corner of Mont Royal street and avenue du Parc, Kong and Sumo's blazes caught my eye. Nothing out of the ordinary apart from their situation. How could they have made these letters. I'm impressed.
Pour ceux qui me connaissent un peu, c'est difficile pour moi de ne pas mettre de StreetArt dans mes posts 😀. Au coin de la rue Mont Royal et l'avenue du Parc, les blazes de Kong et Sumo ont attiré mon regard. Rien d'exceptionnel à part leur situation. Comment ils ont pu faire ses lettres. Je suis impressionné.
I hope you enjoyed this walk along Mont Royal Avenue through two of Montreal's major downtown parks. Happy Wednesday Walk Challenge to all.
J'espère que vous avez apprécié cette balade sur l'avenue Mont Royal en parcourant deux parcs important du centre ville de Montréal. Bon Wednesday Walk Challenge à tous.

You are very welcome @heroldius! it was well deserved. ☀️

Happy #wednesdaywalk 👍 beautiful park. I too like the Mount Royal relief. Nice lettering by Kong and Sumo. I always wonder about this type of street art 🤔 do you think this was traditional graffiti done clandestinely or allowed by the building owners?
I think it's completely illegal, done at night by accessing the roof and then leaving these huge letters... The owner must be happy in the morning to see that 😅
