The RDO Walking Tour was originally inspired
by the 1998 article in American Way, Roy Dupuis' Montreal. Here he did a
great selling job on some of his favourite site, shops and restaurants in
the city. Seven years on, when asked, he insists he'd "rather go sailing"
than hang out in the city even if he could go around unrecognised, so
don't count on bumping into him at any of his old haunts. However, this short trip along and around Rue St-Denis encompasses not only these past recommendations, but also several theatre and film references compiled through building the RDO information base and visiting Montreal on several occasions. While taking the tour you will, of course, have the opportunity to appreciate the architecture of the typical Montreal house, to admire the occasional glimpse of the ultra-modern skyline of the business centre, and to marvel at the variety and quirkiness of the shops in the area. Depending on what Roy's up to when you take the tour, you may even be lucky enough to be confronted by his face on billboards throughout the métro (a strangely satisfying, if disconcerting, experience!). Whatever the circumstances, enjoy this little homage to our favourite actor, whose artistic roots were certainly developed along the route you'll be following. How does it work? How long does it take? The small print The RDO Walking Tour is copyrighted to roydupuis-online.com, but webmasters/mistresses are welcome to link to this page from their sites. |
