Saint-Vincent-de-Paul

Saint-Vincent-de-Paul is a neighborhood of Laval.  It is, along with Sainte-Rose, one of the Laval’s oldest districts, with roots dating back to the church of the same title, formed in 1740 and dedicated after Saint Vincent de Paul.

it is a pleasant district in Laval, just north of Montreal. The Rivière-des-Prairies, which connects Laval and Montreal, borders it to the south. Boulevard Pie IX borders the region to the west, while Highway 25 borders it to the east. Highway 440 goes parallel to the north side. Duvernay is bounded on all three sides by St-Vincent.

The city is known for having a bit of a village-like ambiance.

If you go to the waterfront, you’ll discover gorgeous homes and little, one-of-a-kind restaurants and cafes. Many folks may be seen pedaling their bicycles or relaxing in the park beside the water.

Located south of Ile Jesus, Saint-Vincent-de-Paul faces the Montreal neighborhoods of Ahuntsic and Montreal North. It is a primarily French-speaking residential area with mostly homes and a few condos. This neighborhood will appeal to middle-class residents looking for a calm place to live but is only a few minutes away from Montreal because of the Pie IX Bridge.

Possibly the nicest park in town. It’s almost like a botanical garden, complete with big playgrounds, animals, ponds, and even a little train ride in the heart of it all.
