The Itinerary
Contrecœur is an industrial city on the south shore of the St. Lawrence, dominated by the ArcelorMittal steel plant. The nearby Îles-de-Saint-Timothée regional park offers a striking contrast: sandy beach, kayaking and nature accommodation.
The riverside between Varennes and Contrecœur features a continuous cycling path with views of the widening St. Lawrence to the east. The region has several lesser-known but excellent cideries.
