Ville Marie DistrictMontreal Gay Village
The space occupied by the Montreal Gay Village goes from St-Hubert to Papineau, with a concentration of its activity on Ste-Catherine. This is where most of the gay bars and restaurants, the gay shopping and the gay travel are located. Montreal is considered as one of the friendliest, most stylish, and most enthusiastic cities when it comes to gay culture. With its two square kilometers, the district is one of the largest in the world. Recognized for being broad minded, animated and eccentric, the Village is quite famous. 
You can’t miss it. With its gay restaurants, its gay bars and clubs, and its gay friendly hotels, the village is largely commercial and very night-life oriented. The side streets of the Gay and Lesbian Village of Montreal are lined with attractive townhouses and well-tended gardens. Hidden between de la Visitation et Panet and accessible from de Maisonneuve, the Lartigue Avenue once called ruelle Saint-Pierre, is a beautiful example. People fall in love with the Village's winding paths and small houses, reminiscent of an English mews for certain, of a small French village for others. Definition of Population According to Statistics Canada, in 2001, the gay district was located between St-Denis to the west, Sherbrooke to the north, Papineau to the east and René-Lévesque to the south. The population was mostly male (59%). A large majority (82%) of the male residents was composed of adult men between 20 to 64 years who represented almost half (48%) of the total inhabitants of the district. Very few families lived in the neighbourhood since more than half (57%) of the households were composed of one person only. As little as 16% of the residences were occupied by owners and 84% of the residents were tenants. People living in common law unions represented 62%. Finally, the average household revenue earned by people living in the Village was lower than the average revenue earned in the city of Montreal. Thank you for visiting Montreal Gay Village.
