SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE

Arriving in Berthierville, you can discover the Chapelle des Cuthbert, the Gilles-Villeneuve Museum and the walking trails of the Berthier islands. These cultural sites offer a fascinating insight into the region's history and heritage. And don't forget to stop off at Brasserie Locomotiv for a bite to eat and a toast to microbrewery beer.
