Autumn in Montreal is a season of intense cultural vibrancy. From October 31st to November 16th, the city comes alive with the captivating rhythms of the Arab World Festival (FMA), an essential event celebrating the dialogue between Arab and Western cultures.
Between the concerts, dance performances, exhibitions, and poetry, the FMA is a fascinating sensory immersion. But after the excitement and energy of downtown, the need for calm sets in.
Where can you find this perfect balance? Le Refuge du Poète offers you the best of both worlds.
