Blue Met Literary Walking Tour - Montreal Shopping & Books
We've got some giveaways running on our social media platforms in conjunction with
Blue Metropolis International Literary Festival, whose literary walking tours in the form of podcasts are now available! The tours are a writer's take on the history and present day of various neighborhoods and cultural communities in Montreal. Whether you're in Montreal & able to walk them or from a far and want to virtually walk the streets of Montreal, we think you will love them!
Today we’re featuring :
The Montreal Shopping & Books Walking Tour
Montréal Shopping & Livres propose un regard unique sur la métropole à travers les textes inédits d'auteurs en balados, des chroniques de blogueuses, des rendez-vous choisis, des livres, de jolies robes et des créateurs en tout genre, en ligne et un parcours dans les rues de la métropole.
Montreal Shopping & Books proposes an experience of the city through writing, authors, bloggers, books and creatives across genres online and while walking the streets of our city.
Among the contributors to this project are Monique Polak, Gabrielle Delamer, Samuel Larochelle, Gabrielle Boulianne-Tremblay, Marie-Eve Bourassa and Alicia Melamed.
