And an enormous park in the east of the town, half of which is occupied for the botanical garden, the other for locals to lounge, bike, play games or bbq.

Montréal in the summer: it's people everywhere, a see of people, as far as you can see, all relaxed and fairly happy. It's the town to be in the summer!
That sounds wonderful - wish I was there!

Although this weekend is a wine and food fair in Bristol. We have to plan things which can happen even if it rains (or which distract you from the rain!).


The "Paris Plage" sounds familiar - we've had one of them in Bristol, but only if the weather's worth it. You wouldn't want to swim in Bristol Harbour!
