If you are looking to rent a place nearby, then Condo 201 Charlotte is your best bet for the parade (literally one block from Rene Levesque), with Condo 2037 Clark being a couple of blocks further north from the parade, but still easily accessible by foot. Both condos are not far from Montreal’s Gay Village.
