hôtel-dieu de montréal ,

despite what its name promises, the hôtel-dieu de montréal is actually a hospital – in fact, it’s the oldest in the whole city. although it is no longer housed in its original building (the building in its original location in old montréal was burnt down, and rebuilt three times), its mount royale location is really a sight to see. having moved in 1861 to its present location, the group of buildings owned by the hospital boasts majestic architecture, and there’s even a museum chronicling its history. the hospital is also an impeccable one, so you can be assured that you’re in good hands should you fall ill by some unfortunate turn of events.
