Montréal, Medieval commune in Yonne, France.

The hilltop settlement of Montréal stands at 229 meters elevation, overlooking the Serein River in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region of north-central France.

The Anséric family ruled Montréal for several centuries until the 11th century, leaving behind fortifications from the 13th and 14th centuries still visible today.

The Notre-Dame Collegiate Church, constructed in the 12th century, represents the architectural heritage of Montréal with its stone craftsmanship and historical significance.

The commune maintains a population of 166 residents as of 2022, with a density of 22 inhabitants per square kilometer across its 7.41 square kilometers.

During the French Revolution, Montréal temporarily changed its name to Mont-Serein from October 1793 until July 1814, reflecting the political changes of the period.
