Unique things to do in Quebec

Join us for a canoe tour to Montreal's foremost microbrewery on the banks of the Historic Lachine Canal. We will depart from the historic Atwater Market and head West towards the St-Paul locks. As the first and only paddle shop established on the Lachine Canal almost 20 years ago, we will share our unique perspective on the history of the canal and the recent development and gentrification of the surrounding neighborhoods. As we travel directly south of the downtown core, you will discover a one-of-a-kind view of the city. We'll also share interesting tidbits about local restaurants and shops. (Did you know Joe Beef used to keep a bear in the basement of his bar to "encourage" patrons to leave at closing! We'll quickly get out to see the locks before we enter the Messorem Brewery for a drink on one of Montreal's first micro-breweries. We'll learn about the brewing process and enjoy a few tasty samples before heading back experiencing the city as it lights up for the evening. No canoe experience is required but if you need instruction arrive early and we'll be happy to give a few tips. We also offer this tour. https://abnb.me/VblI3EvvbY Other things to note The tour is ideal for those looking for a short outing to learn about the history of Montreal.
