These carefully-crafted indoor burrows include the underground city that connects many of the modern centreville buildings, museums and galleries displaying contemporary Canadian and Quebecois art, sex clubs and paraphernalia supermarkets that line the city's main commercial streets and thousands of cafes, bars and restaurants.
