Indigenous-Led Tour: Colonial Secrets of Old Montreal｜Canada

A daytime walking tour, hosted by Sophie-Claude Miller, that smashes through the “tourist gaze” to reveal the area’s hidden histories, glossed-over facade.

Starting at Pointe-à-Callière Museum, the site of the Ville-Marie Fort of 1642, the tour takes guests to the most notorious colonial places in Old Montreal.

These include Place-Royale, the Old Seminary, and the Place D’Armes. We also visit the site of the old Hotel-Dieu Hospital and conclude the tour where colonial authorities executed a black slave woman in 1734.

The tour is approximately 90 minutes.
