Is Varennes right for you?

Varennes suits families, heritage lovers and workers in the industrial and scientific hub. Near the river, flood zones should be checked; in the old sector, heritage rules may govern exterior renovations.

Our favourite spot in Varennes

Sanctuaire Sainte-Marguerite-d'Youville and Basilique Sainte-Anne

Religious heritage

The shrine, on rue Sainte-Anne, includes a museum with large stained-glass windows and the Romanesque-Byzantine-style Sainte-Anne basilica, consecrated in 1888, where Saint Marguerite d'Youville rests. It is a must-see visit to understand the history of Varennes and that of the first Canadian-born saint.

“When I introduce Varennes, I often start with rue Sainte-Anne: the basilica and the shrine immediately set the tone for old Varennes, a stone's throw from the river.”
