The Grande Bibliothèque, a vast public space 33,000 metres square in the heart of Québec's largest city, is an exceptional cultural rendez-vous providing open and free access to more than four million documents, including one million books. Essentially, all collections are part of two major ones: a universal lending and reference collection and the national collection.

In 1895, the Laval University opened its first pavilion in the metropolis: it was the birth of the University of Montréal. This crossroads of knowledge will give a new face, and a new nickname to the area: the Quartier Latin. The name is still valid today since UQAM also elected to settle in the same spot as its predecessor, at the end of the 1960's. The Montréal terraces were born there. The mix of institutions and schools allow for an interesting mix of neckties and jeans; pizza and sushi; Highland Malt and flammenkuche; manga and tea den. Everything overlaps on top of Montréal's main métro station: Berri-UQAM.
