Mont Saint-Hilaire Biosphere Reserve

In 1758, the market town of Saint-Denis was the smallest of all. This small size did not prevent its merchants from developing a flourishing economy in the village. Its strategic position along the Richelieu River boosted exports and the transport of merchandise made by artisans of the time, such as dishes made by potters who found pure clay in the soil. Today, this is a dynamic village steeped in history, reflecting the charm of the land, and containing the largest wetlands in the region.
