The Lighting Plan
 
Lights on Place d'Armes, historic heart of Old Montréal

As soon as dusk falls,
the statue of Maisonneuve lights up.
Then the lights turn on the buildings in Place d'Armes, from the oldest to the newest.

Subtle lighting showcases
the clock on Old Montréal's
oldest building, the Saint-Sulpice
Seminary, dating from 1684.

The low-angle light reveals the beauties of the stones of the old Seminary, where the Sulpicians resided from the earliest days of the French colony.
