Nicolas is the festival director of the Montreal Festival du nouveau cinema which take place each year since 1971 in October in the heart of the beautiful city of Montreal.
Montreal has a mountain in its centre. On this mountain, there is a large park, which includes trails, forest, a lake, and a cross on top. Going on the trails, it feels like a complete escape.
Caffè Italia is an institution in town and was the first Italian café to open in Montréal in 1956. The decor probably hasn't changed much since then. Definitely one of my top favourite places in Montreal. Their panini is worth the detour - I have rarely had such a great one, probably the best in town, if not of the whole province !
