*** About Montreal City Hall: Montreal City Hall, located in the heart of Old Montreal, is an important architectural and historical site. Officially opened on March 11, 1878, it stands as a testament to the city’s rich political and cultural heritage. Designed in the Second Empire Style, it was the work of architects Henri-Maurice Perrault and Alexander Cowper Hutchison. Over the years, the building has witnessed numerous significant events, including a visit from French President Charles de Gaulle in 1967, where he delivered his controversial "Vive le Québec libre" speech. After a devastating fire in 1922, the hall was beautifully restored, maintaining its classical charm while integrating modern functionalities suited to the civic administration.
