Discovering Little Burgundy: Untapped Outtakes

Discovering Little Burgundy: Untapped Outtakes

I just published a new article about one of Montreal’s most interesting neighborhoods: Little Burgundy on Untapped Cities. Read it here.

Little Burgundy has a rich past, playing an important part in Montreal’s renowned jazz scene. After years of desolation, the area has been going through quite the revival in the last few years.

I thought I’d share some more pictures of the neighborhood that I didn’t put in with the article.

Sainte-Cunégonde church, at the corner of Vinet and Saint-Jacques.

The beautiful Rue de Coursol.

One of the eight sculptures from Jacek Jarnuszkiewicz’s installation at Atwater Market, Les Allusifs.

Pumpkin stalls at Atwater Market.

The fire station near Place Saint-Henri.

    Terrific shots of a great area! Here’s an interesting story about a child’s murder in 1906 in the Sainte-Cunégonde district that you may enjoy.
