De la Gauchetière Street

De la Gauchetière Street extends for 2.2 kilometers through downtown Montreal, connecting the International District with multiple commercial establishments and residential areas.

The street received its name from Joseph-Daniel Migeon, known as Sieur de la Gauchetière, who owned the land and named it after his mother Catherine Gauchet.

The section between Saint Laurent Boulevard and Jeanne Mance Street forms the central axis of Montreal's Chinatown, featuring restaurants, shops, and traditional Asian markets.

The street provides direct access to Central Station, Montreal's main railway terminal, and connects to multiple metro stations including Bonaventure and Lucien-L'Allier.

The 1000 de la Gauchetière building, Montreal's tallest structure by occupied floors, contains an indoor ice skating rink within its public atrium.
