Welcome to the district of excess: the district of Midtown.
Renowned for Times Square which earned it its nickname 'the city that never sleeps', this district is also known for its frenetic race to the sky with taller buildings, for its dynamism and for its iconic monuments.
Through this course, you will explore the evolution of Midtown architecture, discover its history that is particularly marked by the passage of very wealthy industrialists and finally, learn more about the life of a New Yorker.

Testimony of a family after a visit to Midtown
a visit to new york for all
"Voyager avec des pré-adolescents et vouloir découvrir et visiter une ville peut représenter tout un défi. Trouver son rythme, garder les jeunes occupés et leurs esprits allumés est toute une formule à trouver. Éviter d'être le parent tanant sans être tanné soi même c'est la balance qu'on a aimé dans le tour de Midtown . On a bien hâte de faire notre prochaine découverte et notre prochain tour avec Family Way"
Seb Lozé - Montréal
