at one of Montreal's oldest and finest Restaurants, Pierre De Calvet. There will be delicious food and nice music to accompany the wonderful ambience. There will be a wonderful slideshow to commemorate Rita's 65 years. Hope you can make it ! The House of the Calvet is a unique and remarkable monument of the architecture of the French regime in Canada. It is typical of this period with its thick walls of fire-stopping stone, its massive chimneys and its stip sloped roofs. This historical house of the XVIIIth century, built inside the fortified city in 1725, it is the oldest home open for public accommodations. It is a unique and remarkable family home belonging to the Trottiers, pioneers and founders of the famous restaurant "The King's Daughters", that marked the the rebirth of Old Montréal for two generations. |

Upon entering the house you are immediately captivated by the magical and mysterious atmosphere that emanates from its stone walls, its heavy beam ceilings and its woodworks. Bedrooms are furnished with antiques, family heirlooms and family portraits. You become the hosts of this large residence, where you are invited to share the cozy and luxurious atmosphere of eclectic decorations from the turn of century.

The library at Pierre de Calvet is a throwback to centuries gone by. Beautiful art and furniture decorate the library. We will have cocktails before dinner in here.
