A wonderful place that takes you back in time and is historically important.

There is a secret hidden in a door in the middle of the wall

little devil for the joy in between

Very beautiful medieval town on a hill overlooking the countryside.

This is where the local population meets for lunch.

The brasserie with French charm is worth a detour to Montreal. The journey is a bit hilly, but you are rewarded with good coffee and good food. Open only from Tuesday to Saturday.

Attractive village, friendly people

At the top of a hill that you will see taking shape when you arrive, requiring you to deviate from the main roads to enter the old town, Montreal has managed to retain a medieval atmosphere that strikes as soon as you pass through the first gate of the ramparts, called " Downstairs door". In the 13th century, the stronghold consisted of three enclosures pierced with pointed arch doors surmounted by towers. A first enclosure isolated the castle and the collegiate church from the rest of the top of the hill, where the garrison was certainly housed, itself sheltered by a second enclosure. The door that closed the access has disappeared but the base of a nearby watchtower is still visible. A third line of ramparts protected the town on the hillside. Beautiful old mansions, some with mullioned windows or embellished with colorful gardens, line the main street and some picturesque alleys. After a small climb, you can pass the second remaining historic gate called "Porte d'en haut" which opens access to the Collegiate Church, built in the 12th century and restored in the 19th century by the architect Viollet-le-Duc. The square adjoining the collegiate church is like a belvedere offering a panorama of the surrounding countryside. For the record, this Burgundian Montreal is part of "The association of Montreal of France and Europe" with 3 other perfect namesakes in Aude, Ardèche and Gers (I only had the opportunity to visit only the latter which is also a charming town), and also Montreal la Cluse (in Ain), Montreal Les Sources (Drôme) and even Monreal Eifel (in Germany).
