Ce clip est FANTASTIQUE! Merci mille fois de l'avoir mis sur YOU TUBE! J'avais 7 ans en 1967 et j'ai passé tout mon été sur "les îles" avec mes parents et ma soeur. L'atmosphère était tout simplement indescriptible. Expo 67 m'a marqué à jamais. Aujourd'hui, quand je me promène sur ces îles, je ne peux faire autrement que de me rappeler cet été où j'ai vécu des jours merveilleux, à explorer le monde et me promener en minirail et dans l'Expo-Epress.

It majorly sucks(!!!) that most of these pavillons got destroyed. What a shame. I would have loved to visit them at this time.

My grandmother told me she had gone to Expo 67' when she was little and for a person living in Quebec at the time it was just a major deal. especially when you have not only the Kennedy's but then President Lyndon B. Johnson, That's awesome.

I was 10 years old and we used to go with my mother and sister.

We used to have a passeport " Expo 67 " and when we enter a Pavillon

they used to stamp us. I was collecting so many of them, we went there so many times.

Those are the best memories of my life in Montreal, I remember visiting the Great Britain Pavillon and we used to hear the Beatles..

Thank you for posting this...

Vraiment une belle période j'avais quant à moi 6 ans à l'ouverture d'Expo 67. Mes parents nous y amenais et que de beaux souvenirs et une ambiance indescriptible oui c'est vrai......et moi aussi quand je m'y promène aujourd'hui je vois l'île comme elle était à ce moment.....dommage que ce n'est pas survécu. Mon pavillon favori était celui avec le Gyrotron je me souviens pas de quel pays il était.....et j'aimais me promené près des magasins asiatiques pour l'odeur orientale qui si dégageait Woww
