For whom?

Historically, the Plateau-Mont-Royal has always been the French neighborhood in Montreal. If you come to Montreal with a work permit and you are looking for a neighborhood, the Plateau-Mont-Royal will be right for you. Recently, I've seen an English-speaking fashion looking to live the Montreal experience.
