¿Por qué reportas este rompecabezas?

In Today's Daily Jigsaw Puzzle, we visit the Old Port of Montreal (Vieux-Port de Montréal). It is a historic district along the St. Lawrence River, deeply tied to the city's founding and growth.

The port dates back to 1642, when Paul de Chomedey, Sieur de Maisonneuve, established Montreal as a French colony. It's strategic location made it a hub for the fur trade and later for industrial commerce, connecting the settlement to local and international markets.

While French explorer Samuel de Champlain navigated the area in the early 1600s, recognizing its importance for trade, it was Maisonneuve who officially founded the city. By the 19th century, the construction of the Lachine Canal in 1825 allowed ships to bypass the nearby rapids, turning the port into a critical center for goods traveling between North America and Europe.

The Old Port experienced a decline in the mid-20th century as modern shipping facilities downstream took over. However, it was revitalized in the 1980s and transformed into a cultural and recreational destination. Iconic landmarks like the 1922 Clock Tower honor its maritime history, while restored warehouses house museums and shops.

Over the centuries, the population of Montreal grew from a few dozen settlers in the 17th century to over 100,000 by the mid-19th century, as the port thrived. Today, Montreal is home to over 1.8 million people, with the Old Port remaining a vital symbol of its origins and development ♥

Montreal... my home town; how well I know this city... Marché Bonsecours Market which was a popular spot in Old Montreal during the 1976 Olympics (you can see it's dome in the picture) and Notre Dame Cathedral at Place D'armes Square... I think Celine Dion got married there. I used to eat my lunch in the square often or sit in the Cathedral for the peace and quiet; all of it in Old Montreal.

When I wasn't eating lunch in the square, my workmates and I would select one of the many wonderful restaurants in this historic district to enjoy a lunch. It was all just steps away from the office.

There are a lot of maple trees in this part of Canada which makes the colours of the Fall foliage so remarkable and makes Spring sugaring-off parties (outside the city) a big attraction when the maple syrup sap flows.

Thanks for the lovely picture/puzzle and the opportunity to reminisce!!
