Back to Toronto<\/h4>\n

Finally, I was back in the Toronto area. I went there for the first time five years ago and since then I was thinking to return and explore more but I never had the time or energy to do it. Part of my family came to see me in Canada for the first time and then it was the perfect excuse to return in the biggest city of the country. We were there just for a couple of days, staying in the west side of the city. What I like in the big cities is to visit the alternative districts where creative people go give a new life to old areas. We went to visit the Distillery District<\/a>. Located east of\u00a0downtown, it contains numerous caf\u00e9s, restaurants, and shops housed within heritage buildings of the former\u00a0Gooderham and Worts Distillery. It is definitely a great recovered area of the city to walk around and have a drink. We finished the day on Queen Street West, enjoying the great French cuisine at La Pallette<\/a>\u00a0and looking for beautiful\u00a0paintings on the walls of the streets. Our trip to southern Ontario could not be complete without a stop to see the Niagara Falls and drink wine in some wineries around the beautiful village of Niagara-on-the-Lake. This last step was the perfect conclusion: a few sips of delicious wine in the middle of the sunny vineyards.<\/p>\n

Finalement j’\u00e9tais de retour \u00e0 Toronto. Depuis ma premi\u00e8re visite il y a cinq ans j’ai toujours voulu y retourner pour explorer un peu plus mais le manque de temps m’en avait continuellement emp\u00each\u00e9. Une partie de ma famille m’a rendu visite pour la premi\u00e8re fois au Canada et c’\u00e9tait donc l’excuse parfaite pour me rendre de nouveau dans la plus grande ville canadienne. Nous nous rendions sur place pour seulement deux jours, dans un appartement de l’ouest de la ville. Ce que j’aime visiter dans les grandes villes, ce sont les quartiers alternatifs o\u00f9 les gens cr\u00e9atifs redonnent une nouvelle vie aux anciennes parties de la ville. Nous allions donc visiter le quartier historique de la Distillery<\/a>.\u00a0Quartier pi\u00e9tonnier, il abrite de nombreuses b\u00e2tisses de briques rouges typiques du vieux Toronto, aujourd’hui occup\u00e9es par des boutiques, restaurants et galeries d’art. Le quartier poss\u00e8de plus de 40 b\u00e2timents et 10 rues class\u00e9s au patrimoine historique du Canada. Nous fin\u00eemes notre journ\u00e9e sur Queen Street West \u00e0 la recherche de belles peintures murales ainsi qu’\u00e0 la table de La Pallete<\/a>, restaurant de bonne cuisine fran\u00e7aise. \u00a0Notre passage dans le sud ontarien ne pouvait \u00eatre complet sans un arr\u00eat aux chutes du Niagara et quelques verres de vin dans les vignobles entourant le joli village de Niagara-on-the-Lake. Ce fut une perfect conclusion \u00e0 ce p\u00e9riple canadien : du bon vin sous un beau soleil de fin de journ\u00e9e.<\/em><\/p>\n
