40 Things To Do In Montreal When You're Over 40

Just because you are over the hill doesn't mean you can't chill.

There's no such thing as the "wrong side" of any age. 40-year-olds want to be 30 again, 30-year-olds pine for their twenties, and some twenty-year-olds wish they were school children again. There's a million fun things to do in Montreal for people over 40. Lots of them are the same things as for people under 40 -- because people are people, people!
