Montreal is in the Yonne department, a few kilometres to the east of Avallon.

The village is enterd by an imposing gateway with several arches through the fortified walls - you will see another similar gateway at the other end of Montreal.

Inside the walls there are several streets of old houses winding up the hill - many of the houses have small placards explaining their original function in the village (post office, mattress maker etc.) which adds to the interest of the village and helps set it in a historical context. Several of the houses also have colourful gardens.

The 'old village' is very largely restored - not typical for the Yonne villages.

At the top of the hill is a picturesque church and cemetery, next to a belvedere (viewpoint) with views across the countryside.

There is also a walk that follows around the fortifications that surround Montreal, as well as a number of paths that set off into the countryside.

It doesn't take very long to explore Montreal, and facilities are limited, but it is well worth visiting.

Note: the main village is pedestrianised (vehicle access to the village is for residents only) so park opposite the small cafe (Au Quinze) on the road that passes through the village. Parking is free!
