READ ALSO: Vermont Will Pay Canadians $10,000 To Move There Montreal is full of little secret hidden gems of all kinds. The Old Port is an extra special place with an unmistakable historical charm where we find can easily find these gems like nowhere else in the city. I have written before about the famous neon light alleyway located next to Flyjin in the Old Port. This alleyway is one of the most Instagrammed places in Montreal and is actually special because it's only lit up for special occasions. We discovered another super charming and oozing-with-European-charm alleyway right off St-Paul street leading to a super cute local boutique called Maison Pepin.
