Le Village

Villagegai - The Village's rainbow métro station, Beaudry

Le Village gai ( Village, often shortened to Le Village) is the largest village in North America, mostly along Rue Sainte-Catherine est from Rue Saint-Hubert (near metro Berri-UQAM) to avenue Papineau (near metro Papineau). The metro station in the middle of the area, Beaudry, is marked with rainbow pillars. Come to enjoy Montreal's pride celebration, Divers/Cité] (last week of July, first week of August), which is the second largest in North America after Toronto's. Then the Montreal Pride Parade event follows in mid-August with more fabulous fun to be had by all attendees.

Canada's contributions to rights are widely known, but Quebec was the first province in Canada to pass a non-discrimination law for sexual orientation and to provide same-sex civil unions. Same-sex marriage is legal in Quebec and across Canada; neither residency nor citizenship are required for a marriage license, but there is a three-week waiting period after you receive the license. Canadian and Quebec immigration law allow residents to sponsor their same-sex partners or spouses.

Sainte-Marie

Sainte-Marie is a working-class neighborhood to the east of Le Village. It is notably the home of the Maison Radio-Canada and the radio and television broadcasting headquarters for Radio-Canada and the French language arm of the CBC.

To local residents, i.e. French-Canadians and the term is simply an endearing reference to one's posterior. However, to the French and the term is a rather explicit reference to female genitalia, which is always worth a few laughs, especially with the "electric" adjective attached. But "les Foufs," as it's called by local residents, is more than just a funny name: it's ground zero for Montreal's rock-and-roll scene. The cavernous bar hosts shows from local bands as well as lots of touring shows from around the globe. Reasonable prices and a down-to-earth attitude make Foufounes popular with residents and visitors alike.

A pipe is $6.50, you can smoke it alone or share it with a few people.
