Eastern Canada Road Trip | Montreal City Hall and Champ de Mars

A 10-minute walk from Montreal's Chinatown, you can see Le Champ-de-Mars and Service des Finances de la Ville de Montréal and Montreal City Hall. Walking on the streets of Montreal is actually quite pleasant, and along the way, you can see buildings that are not seen in Taiwan. And they are all well maintained, I can't figure out why there are no old buildings preserved or maintained in Taiwan. The buildings in the past are quite distinctive, even if they are built now, they may not have that kind of feeling.

 

Champ de Mars is a public park in Old Montreal quarter of Montreal, Quebec, Canada.


Formerly a military parade ground, the park had previously been traversed by Montreal's fortifications, which were demolished at the beginning of the 19th century. The adjacent Montreal City Hall (1878) and the old courthouse (1856) were later built inside the line of the fortifications. Champ de Mars served as a municipal parking lot starting in the 1960s until being restored as a park in 1992. At that time, the foundations of Montreal's city walls were discovered and restored.


The site's name commemorates its former military purpose; Mars was the Roman god of war and campus Martius was a Latin term for a military exercise ground.The walls now standing on site are the foundations of the original walls used to protect the city.


The area is bordered by the Montreal City Hall, the old and new courthouses and the Champ-de-Mars Metro station.From Wikipedia

There is a large lawn in front of you, but it is absolutely not suitable for sitting on the grass in summer. will be hot to death! It is so open that there is no shelter at all, and walking in the park feels like heat stroke. Otherwise, it should be very comfortable to sit in the park, especially when you see the grass abroad and want to lie on it. Do you understand the feeling of seeing the grass but not being able to lie down? Maybe it will be very comfortable in the evening or at night. Will there be people on the grass in the whole park at that time? It's a pity that there is no way to verify it, because it's exhausting to walk all day. It's not like taking a detour to take a look! I can only silently envy the locals for having such a comfortable park.
