Montréal is the largest French-speaking city in North
America.
Since its founding, three and half centuries ago, Montréal
has become a world class city. However, it has retained its historic
character.
Each street and building represents a page of history.
Here is the place to find the largest concentration of XVIIth to XIXth
buildings on the continent.
At the crossroad of 2 continents, America and Europe, the
influence of the French & Anglo-Saxon cultures can be felt and helps
give Montréal its charm. Montréal is a city where life is pleasant.
Visitors take dazzling memories away with them.
In the middle of the city, a burgeoning sort of local
Greenwich Village, known as the Village or Gay Village, features many
restored buildings and is a lively district, day & night, with a
variety of stores, clubs, discos, cinemas, taverns, bars, restaurants
& art galleries.
History:
The Gingerbread House was built before the end of the
nineteenth century and has been totally renovated for your comfort while
endeavouring to maintain the turn of the century charm. It is catalogued
by the city in its inventory of architecturally interesting house in Montréal.
The name of our bed and breakfast comes from all the gingerbread
ornamenting the exterior and interior of the house.
Location:
The gingerbread house is centrally located in "the
village" and is just a short walk from the downtown core, where you
will find some of the greatest shopping in Montréal's famous underground
city, and from a metro (subway) station that can take you wherever you
want to go.
Rooms:
Two tastefully decorated rooms are available for our
guests, in a smoke-free environment, and are comfortably furnished with a
double bed.
The bathroom is shared and includes a shower, towels, soap
and shampoo, and if you ever need something else, we will gladly do our
best to provide it.
Breakfast:
Each morning, breakfast is served. You will be able to
enjoy breakfast at your leisure while chatting with other guests, watching
TV, listening to music or planning your next busy day in Montréal.
Your Hosts:
Ephraim is a native Anglo Montrealer, born and bred. He
had a bachelors degree from the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, Israel.
Yves is a francophone who moved to Montréal from his
native Rimouski after he finished university.
We will both be more than happy to help you plan your
vacation in the city, and will do everything to make your trip
unforgettable.
