The Itinerary

L'Assomption is the Lanaudière gateway from Montreal, crossed by the L'Assomption River offering canoeing and kayaking. The city has a heritage core with its 19th-century cathedral and lively commercial streets.

The L'Assomption public market (summer) is one of the region's liveliest. The road toward Joliette continues through Lanaudière's fertile farmland — one of Quebec's most productive market garden regions.
