La Grande Roue de Montreal.

Beginning this June, Montreal will boast the highest observation wheel in Canada and third highest in Canada/U.S.

Already under construction on Île Bonsecours in the Old Port, Montreal’s Observation Wheel is expected to generate tourism for the metropolitan region. La Grande Roue de Montréal is the private company that designed and will operate this new attraction.
