Oui! C'est vrai!

This city is the second-largest primarily French-speaking city in the world, after Paris. In two years it will be 400 years old (from the time people first started living there). It is one of only 3 world cities named UNESCO City of Design, a title recognizing its design community. It has a 250 acre park in the middle of the city. It is home to 4 universities. It boasts a subway system where each of its 68 stations was designed by different architects with individual themes and features original artwork.

Do you know what city I'm describing without looking online? (Assuming you don't or haven't live(d) there)

See the comments for the answer.

C'est la ville de Montréal!

Just got back from La Grand Ville. They are planning to extend the Metro in three directions. Guess which direction isn't getting any new stations.

B.F.

Yes, I know..... the west. West Islanders are likely not too impressed.

I honestly didn't know there was a 250 acre oark in the city. Lafontaine? Mount Royal? 250 acres is big. Which park is it? LOL! Heidi
