The summer temperatures are good and offer us a perfect time to indulge in a picnic. Chances are you already know of a nice place for a picnic with friends, however, I would be surprised if you tried out all the idyllic places to enjoy a meal with friends. This is why we have given you a non-exhaustive list of the places we find perfect for enjoying a successful afternoon / picnic evening.
1- Mount Royal Park
Talking about a picnic without talking about Mont-Royal Park would have made no sense. So we put it at the top of the list. Its very particular characteristic? It is very large, which means that you can organize many picnics, but in different places each time. In addition, the park is very large, perfect for finding a place a little more eccentric from the crowd. And the little extra, during your meal, you will be able to consume alcohol legally.
2- The Garden of the Way of the Cross
Located next to Saint Joseph’s Oratory, this small park is actually a garden. Its paths surrounded by greenery are calm and give the impression of being immersed in the forest, without ever having left the city. The little extra? It’s an exotic place.
3- Parc La Fontaine
4- Clock Tower Beach
In the heart of the Old Port at the foot of the clock tower (hence its name), this place is perfect for an exotic picnic without leaving Montreal. You will be on the beach, feet in the sand and on the edge of the St. Lawrence. Guaranteed holiday atmosphere close to home.
5- Canal Lachine
To the west of the city, the Lachine Canal and its 13.5 km of canal will offer you many places to rest and picnic with friends. After a long stroll on foot or by bike you can stop on the banks of the canal to enjoy the view and the sunset which are magnificent.
