Nestled in the heart of downtown Montreal, Champ de Mars is a tranquil green space with a rich history. Originally a military parade ground and later a city parking lot, it was transformed into a park in the 1980s. During the renovation, workers discovered remnants of Montreal’s old fortifications, which were carefully restored and integrated into the site. Today, visitors can explore the park’s serene pathways and admire the preserved sections of the historic city walls, offering a glimpse into the city’s past.
