Repentigny

Repentigny has grown over the centuries to become one of the largest cities in the Montreal region. Nestled at the meeting point of the L’Assomption River and the Saint Lawrence River, it marks the starting point of the King’s Road in the Lanaudière region.

Initially shaped by visionary lords, craftsmen and builders, Repentigny quickly attracted 19th-century vacationers to its peaceful shores. It was nicknamed Repentigny-les-Bains, a popular summer getaway, before becoming known as “Westmount of the East” due to its elegance and vibrant atmosphere.

Today, this city with a rich past blends history and modernity. The Centre d’art Diane-Dufresne art center, the Parc régional de l’Île-Lebel park, its historic mills and privileged access to the river offer a unique quality of life. Lively festivals, cultural events and outdoor activities bring the city to life throughout the seasons, making it a welcoming and vibrant destination where every visit leads to discovery.
