Here the line of
vertical lights
emphasizes the winding, narrow feel
of Montréal's oldest street.

As you approach
the end of each segment, the buildings that have drawn your gaze become
luminous markers inviting you
on to the next scene... |

| |
These
two buildings,
the gateway to Saint-Paul Street
from McGill Street, mark
the western boundary
of Old Montréal. |
 |
| |
|
A
number of particularly
noteworthy or characteristic façades
are specially highlighted.
On the right, a lovely and exuberant
Victorian building from the early 1870s. |
 |
|
On the left,
the Ancienne Douane,
or old Custom House, with its
Classical Revival architecture
typical of the first half
of the 19th century. |
| Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Secours Chapel |
Subdued
lighting through the stained-glass windows of the Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Secours
chapel highlights all their majesty. |
|
|
|
| The
lighting for the Chapel
was introduced in February 2003. |
