Through the heart of Old Montreal runs the city's oldest street, Rue St-Paul. Paved with cobblestones this narrow street is one of the most interesting places to explore in the city and should be on every visitors must see list.

This historic street started out as a path that ran alongside the Fort or Commune from which the city first established its roots. The path was first paved way back in 1672. The street was named after the city's founder, Paul de Chomedey de Maisonneuve who had lived on the path himself in a house he built in 1650.

Today Rue St-Paul offers visitors to Montreal the chance to step far back in time and experience the charm and atmosphere of Old Europe as they stroll along the narrow cobblestone street.

Rue St-Paul is a great place to spend a day shopping at the many unique boutique shops and galleries; definitely a refreshing change from the cookie cutter franchise shops in the malls. After you are all shopped out and getting hungary you can sit down and enjoy a fabulous meal and some refreshment at one of the many cafes and restaurants tucked along this picturesque street.

Not to be missed while shopping along this old street is the beautifully restore Bonsecours Market where you will find a number of upscale boutiques and galleries with a focus an local goods and works of art.

5 Star Rating I love supporting small local businesses. I popped in today and bought a lovely blue mummu dress perfect for the warm weather and a cute beaded mama necklace. I liked that I had the space to browse without feeling looked over. Definitely a great place for curated fashion and accessories. Loved that they had aloha shoes

5 Star Rating I love this one-of-a-kind, sustainably-focused Brooklyn shop. I've purchased beautiful jewelry pieces that I wear daily, and I rented a perfect dress for a garden gala. Can't wait to be back in to check out the Spring '24 collection and new jewelry from small businesses. Thank you, Rue Saint Paul!

5 Star Rating This boutique is an absolute gem in Brooklyn - wonderfully curated and stylish, while being fairly priced. I found an amazing orange dress for a wedding in the summer, and I love that they have rentals options as well to put their sustainability principles into action. My new favorite neighborhood spot for shopping :)
