The activities of the excursion day being all easily accessible by public transport, we will not be using charter buses to get to them. The meeting point is in front of the VIAU Metro Station (green line) at 9h00 ( Pierre-de-Coubertin ave., north side). We will visit the Biodome (http://espacepourlavie.ca/en/biodome), in the Olympic Parc, which showcases the four main ecosystems found on the American continent (self-guided tours, approximately 90 min).  We will then climb up the Montreal Tower  to get a birds eye view of the city. We will then walk (15 min) to the Botanical Garden (http://espacepourlavie.ca/en) where we will have lunch and then a guided visit. At 16:00, we will take the Metro (and bus) to the Old port where we will embark on Le Bateau-Mouche (http://www.bateaumouche.ca) for a one hour Cruise on the Saint-Lawrence River on a Paris style bateau-mouche (boarding will be at 17h15 on Quai Jacques-Cartier). Both activities can be reached from your Hotels directly via Public transport (or by Taxi). Directions will be available at the registration desk.
