Saint-Denis Street

Named in honour of Denis-Benjamin Viger, first president of the Saint-Jean-Baptiste Society, St. Denis was initially a prestigious residential street. As early as 1880, it became an important thoroughfare. Every 15 minutes, you could take a horse-drawn tramway headed for Mont-Royal Avenue. Today, Saint-Denis Street is famous for its terraces, its lively bars, numerous boutiques and good restaurants. Look up and you can still see the charming original architecture of yesteryear.
