A very good nonstop fare from Paris Charles de Gaulle to Montreal
with Air Transat.
The cheapest option I found is around €297 return via Mytrip through Skyscanner France,
using a French-language booking flow.
Air Transat itself was around €311 return.
With only about €14 difference, the airline-direct option may be the better choice for many travellers,
especially if you need to add checked baggage or simply prefer dealing directly with the carrier.
The headline fare includes 1 small personal item + 1 regular cabin bag.
Checked baggage is not included.
Air Transat direct: about €311
Air Transat nonstop service
Flight time: approximately 7h50.
The morning departure from Paris and late-morning arrival in Montreal
are very practical for making use of the arrival day.
Air Transat nonstop service
Flight time: approximately 6h55.
The evening departure from Montreal lets you use most of the final day
before the overnight flight back to Paris.
Air Transat was around €311 return when checked.
That is only about €14 more than the cheapest OTA fare.
If you need to add checked baggage, compare the final total carefully:
the airline-direct option may become the more sensible booking once extras are included.
The lowest fare is accessed through Skyscanner France and continues to a French-language Mytrip booking flow. Always compare the final payment total, baggage and fare conditions before purchase.
This is a nonstop flight in both directions, with sensible departure and arrival times.
The outbound lands in Montreal at 11:35, giving you most of the first day,
while the 18:50 return departure lets you keep almost the entire final day.
For a transatlantic city-break fare under €300, that combination is genuinely strong.
The fare is excellent, but Paris-Montreal pricing around this level has appeared repeatedly,
so I would not treat it as a once-in-a-year mistake fare.
The headline price also does not include checked baggage.
You get 1 small personal item + 1 regular cabin bag.
Finally, the cheapest booking route is through Mytrip via Skyscanner France
with a French-language booking flow.
Since Air Transat itself was only around €14 more, the direct-airline option deserves serious consideration.
This is the lowest headline fare.
The booking flow is in French, so I would only choose it if you are comfortable
with the language and the final fare remains meaningfully cheaper after any extras you need.
At only about €14 more, booking directly with Air Transat is very competitive.
I would especially compare this option if you need checked baggage.
Once extras are added to the OTA fare, the airline-direct booking may offer better overall value and a simpler point of contact.
I found seven combinations from September through early December 2026. The September option is the reference fare shown at around €297.
A very good transatlantic economy fare with nonstop routing, excellent timings and a regular cabin bag included. The lack of checked baggage, French OTA booking flow and the fact that similar Paris-Montreal fares have appeared before keep it below 9/10.

For the reference 11-20 September trip, I would not necessarily spend all 9 nights in Montreal. A very good starting point is 2-3 nights downtown, then continue to Quebec City or another part of Quebec.
If you want a modern, well-located base for those first few nights, the Moxy Montreal Downtown is a very interesting option: central, stylish, close to metro and rail connections, and strong enough on facilities that the hotel itself adds something to the city break.
For a first visit I think 3 nights works very well. It gives you enough time for Old Montreal, Mount Royal, Mile End / Plateau, downtown and a proper food-focused day without rushing everything into one weekend.
Ideal for the reference 9-night trip: use Montreal as the first city stop, then move on rather than staying downtown for the whole holiday.
Enough if you mainly want Old Montreal, good food and a quick look around the city before taking the train onward.
Better if you want to explore neighbourhoods more slowly, add museums, markets and perhaps a day trip outside the city.
For a short Montreal city stay, the Moxy Montreal Downtown is exactly the kind of hotel I would consider: modern, lively and centrally located rather than a generic airport-style property.
The hotel is at 910 Rue Saint-Jacques and is well positioned for both downtown Montreal and Old Montreal, with metro and railway access close by. That makes it particularly practical if you plan to continue to Quebec City by train after a couple of nights.
The displayed Booking.com listing shows an excellent 8.9/10 guest rating from more than 700 reviews, with staff rated 9.4/10. Couples also rated the location particularly highly.
Facilities include an indoor swimming pool, fitness centre, restaurant, bar, free Wi-Fi, private parking and 24-hour reception. The rooms have a contemporary Moxy-style design, and the social spaces give the property more personality than a traditional city hotel.
For the displayed 11-14 September stay for two adults,
the flexible room shown was approximately €679 total for 3 nights,
including taxes and charges, with free cancellation before 11 September 2026
and no prepayment - pay at the property.
A cheaper non-refundable option was also shown at around €577 total,
but for a trip this far in advance I would personally prefer the flexible rate.
Downtown Montreal
Staff score: 9.4/10
Walk the historic centre, Notre-Dame Basilica area and Old Port. This is the obvious first-day introduction.
Head up for one of the classic city views and combine it with Plateau or Mile End.
Montreal is worth planning around food: bagels, smoked meat, poutine, bakeries and a very strong restaurant scene.
Jean-Talon Market, Little Italy, Mile End and Plateau give you a better sense of the city beyond downtown.
With a 7-13 night ticket, I would strongly consider combining Montreal with another part of Quebec rather than staying in the city for the entire trip.
Dino 9-night idea: Montreal 3 nights → Quebec City 3 nights → Eastern Townships or Laurentians 2 nights → Montreal 1 final night.A few useful extras that can make the journey easier, particularly when travelling with restrictive cabin-bag fares, arriving late or needing mobile data as soon as you land.
