Art galleries on Saint-Paul street, Montreal

Saint-Paul street, located in the Old-Montreal historic area of Montreal is the city's oldest street and served for a long time as its main thoroughfare. The street was named after Paul de Chomedey de Maisonneuve, founder of Montreal, who built a home for himself on it in 1650.
The architecture is typical of 17th century European cities and reminds the visitors of the french heritage of Montreal and Quebec.
Over the years, St-Paul street has become home to many art galleries. Whenever you get a chance, take a walk on that beautiful street between McGill street and Berri street and enjoy some art window shopping.
