An historic city whose streets are lined with fine old houses, L’Assomption has been well known since the 1830s for its famous college. It was almost made into a bishopric in the 19th century. L’Assomption is considered the birthplace of the famous arrowhead sash, a hand-woven textile product unique to the region. Other points of interest include the Oasis du Vieux Palais and the Théâtre Hector-Charland. Close by are the Pépinière Villeneuve.
Not far from Montréal, this is the ideal place to enjoy some quiet relaxation at two health centres and spas offering a wide range of superb treatments.
