A guided walk called “The Route of Secrets” will take you through the streets of downtown and answer questions you might not even know to ask! Such as:
— Just were did all those cut stones come from for the construction of buildings on Sherbrooke St.
— What stories can those buildings tell us?
The walk will appeal to anyone interested in geology and architecture. It’s led by Lillia Bouhalassa, a MSc candidate in UQÀM’s Department of Urban and Tourism Studies, and Coralie Zorzi, a doctoral candidate in geology at UQÀM.
They’re giving it on Friday, 1:30 p.m. and again on Sunday, 9 a.m. The tour starts at the entrance to UQÀM’S Président-Kennedy Pavillion, 201 Président-Kennedy Ave., métro Place-des-Arts. Register for Friday here and for Sunday here.
Price is $15 for adults; $12 for students. Get there a little early, organizers ask. The tour goes rain or shine, and lasts about three hours, so … no heels unless you’re Tyra Banks. The tour ends at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts.
