Montreal is very cosmopolitan with European sensibilities; it's easy to navigate the public transit system; for me, the architecture is wonderful; museums, concerts, and great people-watching; I've had only college French, and it's quite rusty, but if you try with greetings and thank you, people quickly sense that you are not a local and switch to English automatically; and the men! I find the French Canadian men very attractive--the accent, dark features, friendliness and world views appeal to me; I usually go to the bars once each trip just for the fun of it, but I'd much rather go get a massage or hire an escort. I hope that helps; I was planning to go in May, but have cancelled; I will re-schedule though when this pandemic is over!
