Start at the park
One of the best ways to take in the natural beauty of the Saint Lawrence River is to visit a local park nestled on the river’s shoreline. Pack a picnic and enjoy a day by the water with family or friends. There are many parks in the Longueuil neighbourhood. For example, stroll through the Flower Gardens at the popular Parc Jean-Drapeau (1 Circuit Gilles Villeneuve). This free attraction is only a 20-minute ride by public transportation from 101 Place Charles-LeMoyne Apartments.
A day on the water
The Saint Lawrence River is the perfect place to cool down this summer. Jean-Doré Beach at Parc Jean-Drapeau is open from June 18th through September 7th. This is a great spot to catch some sun, go swimming or play a game of beach volleyball. The beach is only a ten-minute drive from 99 Place Charles-LeMoyne Apartments. You can also access the water at a nearby marina, such as Réal-Bouvier Marina (101, ch de la Rive). This neighbourhood site includes a cycling trail, picnic areas, observation points and a link to Old Montreal by river shuttle. 101 Place Charles-LeMoyne Apartments is only a ten-minute bike ride from this marina.
