Where to eat your lunch in the greenery in the District Central ?
The good days are here. We can now take advantage of it, get some fresh air, enjoy the summer temperatures and have lunch outdoors. To mark the return of summer, we walked around the District Central and photographed 7 places where it is nice to take a lunch break and enjoy our meal. On Chabanel, near Saint-Laurent, at the Marché Central or on Sauvé, here are pictures of the scenery of your summer lunch in the Central District.
