Rugby Tours to Montreal, witness a French-infused city that’s in love with festivals, the arts and good food.

Montreal is blessed with one of the most exciting food scenes in North America.

It brims with temples dedicated to Kamouraska Lamb, Arctic Char and Poutine.

Toronto may be Canada’s economic capital, but Montréal remains the country’s cultural juggernaut.

The city, standard bearer of an entire linguistic-cultural identity francophone Canada simply lives for public celebration of the arts.

There are some 250 theatre and dance companies, more than 90 festivals and a fascinating medley of neighbourhoods.

Québécois love their summers and autumnal colours, but it is the winter that defines much of their lives.

Locals slow down and become more insular in the grip of those long, dark months.

With that said, the passion for life that animates Canadian francophones does not truly dim in the cold.

Cosy fireplaces, friendly pubs, steaming sugar shacks, the slopes of local mountains, snowboards and toboggans are all included.

A Rugby Tour that takes in the culture of Montreal is an experience in itself.

If you are coming in winter be sure to pack your thermals for the matches.
