Only 45 minutes from Montréal, the Sorel-Tracy region welcomes you to the Réserve de la Biosphère du Lac-Saint-Pierre (Lac-Saint-Pierre Biosphere Reserve). The region holds an archipelago of about a hundred islands, where the world's largest rookery is found: a paradise for bird watchers! Come discover exciting activities, such as nautical excursions and kayaking. The region also has many other great ideas for summer getaways: bicycle trails, summer theatre, museums, gardens, art galleries, sports events and festivals, including the renowned Festival de la gibelotte. The region is equally rich in original wintertime activities, such as skating at the Carré Royal (Royal Square) rink in downtown Sorel-Tracy.
