Le Plateau-Mont-Royal

Le Plateau-Mont-Royal is a beautiful borough of the city of Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

It takes its title from its spot on a plateau on the eastern side of Mont-Royal, overlooking downtown Montreal to the south. The borough is bounded to the south by Sherbrooke Street, to the north and north-east by the Canadian Pacific Railway tracks, and to the west by Hutchison (north of Mount Royal Avenue), Park Avenue (between Mount Royal and Pine Avenue), and University Street (south of Pine Avenue). It is Canada’s most densely populated borough, with 101,054 people living in an 8.1 square kilometer (314 square mile) area.

With a sizeable population of artists, musicians, and creative institutions, the Plateau is known for being a major center for the arts. The National Theatre School of Canada, the Quebec Conservatory of Music in Montreal, Les Grands Ballets Canadiens, and numerous theatres such as le Rideau vert, le Théâtre de Quat’Sous, La Licorne, and le Théâtre d’Aujourd’hui are all located in the Plateau. Parks such as Jeanne-Mance Park, La Fontaine Park, Sir-Wilfrid-Laurier Park, Saint-Louis Square, and Gérald-Godin Plaza may be found on the Plateau. The Plateau-Mont-Royal also has access to the Mont-Royal Park.
