[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Ok, let\’s talk about summer. 2014 was the first summer I ever spent in Canada. The two other times I had been in Montréal, I arrived at the end of August and Summer was almost already gone. This time, I arrived mid-May, just when snow stopped falling (Yes, it snowed in Montréal at the begging of May 2014!), and summer was coming.
This is the best summer I have ever spent in my life. Between a big city and a small one, there is ALWAYS something to do in Montréal during summer! Always a festival or an activity to do. Sometimes, you will find yourself with several things at the same time.
I was surprised though because I thought it was always sunny in Canada during summer but that is not true. Actually, in MTL, it\’s raining quite a lot in summer and I wasn\’t prepared for that!
I can\’t say enough how much I love Montréal but this is a quick overview of the summer you can have.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=\”\” parallax=\”\” parallax_image=\”\”][vc_column width=\”1/2\”][vc_column_text]What do I miss from summer in MTL?
