Keys to History

Like McGill University, Université Laval à Montréal was established in the heart of a well-to-do neighbourhood, in the area around St. Denis Street. At the time, the Francophone upper classes of Montreal were concentrated around St. Denis and St. Hubert, between Viger Square and St. Louis Square. This is where big cultural and educational institutions, offices for professionals, restaurants and department stores were usually built. This sector would come to be known as the "Latin Quarter."
