My husband and I (plus 2 dogs and a cat) are very likely moving to Montreal for his job and I'm about to visit for the first time. Any advice on things to make sure to explore/check out in advance of our move?  Or any general advice?  Thanks!

Ww are moving on June 1st.

Do you know where you are going to work ? Where do you want to live? We'll be moving in the West Island, suburban area still on the Island ! As a more "touristic" point of view, I love the "Marché bon secours" and the Old Montreal. But also Downtown. There is a certain ambiance in Montreal that is cool. To feel the city, it is better to go in the Spring or Summer.

My husband is a Montrealer so I went there several times before we decided to move ! If you have any question, I could still ask him :)

Bye.
