On the way back I did one last painting somewhere along the bike path in Le Plateau. It took awhile to find this on google maps in retrospect, it is on the south east corner of Rachel and st Hubert. The taverne sign looks pretty vintage, it has neon tubing on it which must light up at night, just in case you need to know where the entrance is. Some nice fall colour trees were in the background, a variety of yellow and orange. The sign over the door said Verres Stérilisés (sterlized glasses!) which always makes me laugh, since you would assume that a bar would have clean glasses, but this one says so on the sign over the door. In fact, the name of the taverne appears to literally be "Taverne Aux Verres Stérilisés Inc", so its some kind of chain since I saw this sign elsewhere in Le Plateau. At any rate, the neighborhood is full of these hole-in-the-wall pubs that are probably a good place to go for a drink and hockey game for the locals.
