We invited all Messiers to gather on the steps of the Pointe-\u00e0-Calli\u00e8re Museum in Old Montreal to enjoy this beautiful day. Seven people accepted the invitation.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>After touring the remains of Montreal&rsquo;s fortifications, the cemetery, and the underground sewers, we headed to the land of our ancestor, Michel Messier, at the corner of McGill and St-Paul streets. Afterwards, we stopped for lunch at Nelson&rsquo;s Restaurant before continuing the afternoon at Maison St-Gabriel. A few photos illustrate this gathering.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Richard Leonardo, President<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Here are some souvenir photos of this event\u2026<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-251140db e-con-full e-flex jltma-glass-effect-no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"251140db\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4266225 elementor-arrows-position-inside elementor-pagination-position-outside jltma-glass-effect-no elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-carousel\" data-id=\"4266225\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;slides_to_show&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;navigation&quot;:&quot;both&quot;,&quot;autoplay&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;pause_on_hover&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;pause_on_interaction&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;autoplay_speed&quot;:5000,&quot;infinite&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;effect&quot;:&quot;slide&quot;,&quot;speed&quot;:500}\" data-widget_type=\"image-carousel.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-carousel-wrapper swiper\" role=\"region\" aria-roledescription=\"carousel\" aria-label=\"Carrousel d\u2019images\" dir=\"ltr\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-carousel swiper-wrapper\" aria-live=\"off\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-slide\" role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\" aria-label=\"1 of 20\"><figure class=\"swiper-slide-inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"swiper-slide-image\" src=\"https:\/\/famillemessierfamily.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/E-01-IMG_9090-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Old Montreal, May 29, 2016.\" \/><figcaption class=\"elementor-image-carousel-caption\">Old Montreal, May 29, 2016.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"swiper-slide\" role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\" aria-label=\"2 of 20\"><figure class=\"swiper-slide-inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"swiper-slide-image\" src=\"https:\/\/famillemessierfamily.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/E-02-IMG_9122-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Maison St-Gabriel, May 29, 2016.\" \/><figcaption class=\"elementor-image-carousel-caption\">Maison St-Gabriel, May 29, 2016.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"swiper-slide\" role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\" aria-label=\"3 of 20\"><figure class=\"swiper-slide-inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"swiper-slide-image\" src=\"https:\/\/famillemessierfamily.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/E-03-IMG_9087-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Participants stop for lunch at Restaurant Nelson.
