Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu

You cannot visit Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu without going on a cruise on the beautiful river that along the city. During these cruises, a singer-guide will give you information about the region. During your stay in the area, stop at the International Balloon Festival. Each year in August, the city transforms into the capital of hot air balloon. Balloons from everywhere in the world light up the sky with impressive colours and shapes.

To discover the story of the Haut-Richelieu and that of ancient and contemporary ceramic, stop at the Musée du Haut-Richelieu. There, you will have the chance to participate in a ceramics workshop and visit an exhibition on hot air balloons. At the Centre d’interprétation “Il était une fois… une petite colonie”, you will find a historic house, buildings, furniture, objects and even a bread oven. Costumed guides will make you relive our ancestors’ life.

“Aux Couleurs de la Campagne” will also take you back in time with its collection of agricultural engines dating back to the 1850s to the 1950s. For those who like flowers and horticulture, les Belles d’un Jour is a day lily garden that will charm you without any doubt. Finally, you cannot leave the city without stopping at the Chocolaterie Ody, at the Domaine des Petits Fruits or at the Fraisières Saint-Alexandre where you can stuff yourself with berries and sweets.
