Montreal, Canada's second largest city, takes its name from the hill (Mont-Royal) with three peaks right there in the heart of the city. It is also the largest city in Quebec.

French and English are the official languages. With more than 50 percent of its population speaking French, Montreal is, according to Wikipedia, "the second largest primarily French-speaking city in the world, after Paris".
