Come visit one of the most beautiful villages of Quebec: Saint-Antoine-sur-Richelieu. Located along the Richelieu River, this village inspires the peace and quietness of the villages of yesteryear. Come see the houses bearing an 18th- and 19th-century architecture of stone or wood. You can also visit the two-tower church and its presbytery, two imposing buildings that have stood the test of time.
This village has witnessed the last battles between the English and the Patriotes in 1837-1838, on the other side of the river. Once linked to the north shore of the Richelieu River by a ferry located in Contrecoeur, the village now enjoys a small ferry that takes people to Saint-Denis across the river. In winter, it is an ice bridge that allows people to safely cross to the north shore. During your visit of Saint-Antoine-sur-Richelieu, you will be taken back into the past, but you will also discover all the talent of regional artists. Enter to discover all the beauty of this village.
