Montreal itself has a permanent population of around 2000 and this figure has been consistent for the past 3 centuries. It's pedestrian heart is ancient but it also has all modern conveniences including petrol station, convenience stores, cafes, bars, restaurants, motor repairers, pharmacies, patisseries etc. There is a supermarket 5 minutes away in Bram.
