MUNICIPALITÉ DE SAINT-PAUL-DE-L'ÎLE-AUX-NOIX
The proposed experience
Its name alone is inspiring. It is an absolute must for boating enthusiasts, history buffs and heritage lovers. Nestled along the Richelieu River, less than 45 minutes from Montréal, the municipality is rightfully recognized as the nautical capital of Québec. Year after year, Saint-Paul-de-l'Île-aux-Noix offers a wide array of activities that help strengthen this reputation. In the summertime, it is at the heart of one of the most visited regions in the province. As you visit Fort Lennox on île aux Noix, you will come across the only fortification still standing on its original structure. Construction of the fort was completed in 1829.
