Nuit blanche à Montréal

An invitation to a nocturnal promenade, the Nuit blanche à Montréal, one of the highlights of MONTRÉAL EN LUMIÈRE winter arts and culture festival, takes over three districts and one pole in Montréal: Old Montréal and the Quays of the Old Port, the Quartier des spectacles and the downtown core, the Plateau Mont-Royal and Mile-End, and the Pôle Maisonneuve. The metro exceptionally remains open all night long and a shuttle service is available, allowing festival-goers to move easily and quickly from one district to another. Some 200 cultural activities (mostly free) including live performances, music and exhibitions cast their spell over the city, with attractions and events including a winter fairyland in the Place des Festivals, and a redesigned "Underground City" featuring the artistic corridors of Art souterrain.
