Nestled between the bustling city of Montréal and the U. S. border you’ll find Montérégie, Québec, a peaceful and quiet town located in a scenic valley.

Surrounded by hills, crisscrossed by the gentle flowing Rivière Richelieu and outlined by the banks of the St. Lawrence River, this strongly agricultural region offers a vast assortment of delicacies. Apple growers, vegetable farmers, chocolate makers, farmers and grape producers welcome tourists to come and sample their specialties and tour their facilities.

The Montérégie is the perfect place for relaxation and escape, with plenty of golf courses, five long intertwining cycling trails (500 km/800 mi.), hiking and cross-country ski trails, parks, theatres, antique shops and an impressive network of tourist inns.

Visit the Musée des beaux-arts de Mont-Saint-Hilaire to see both local and foreign exhibitions. Stop by the Parc archéologique de la Pointe-du-Buisson, a reconstruction of an Amerindian hut and a fishing camp and archaeological excavations. The Parc Safari is the only zoo and tourist destination with over 500 animals, including an unforgettable Safari adventure.
