Lanaudière, Administrative region northeast of Montreal, Canada
Lanaudière spans 12,414 square kilometers between the Saint Lawrence River and Laurentian Mountains, featuring rural territories and urban centers in its southern section.
The region takes its name from Marie-Charlotte de Lanaudière, whose family played a central role in developing the New France colonies during the 17th century.
The Festival de Lanaudière presents classical music performances throughout summer, gathering musicians and audiences in multiple venues across the territory.
The territory contains six regional county municipalities, including D'Autray, Joliette, L'Assomption, Les Moulins, Matawinie, and Montcalm, with Joliette serving as the capital.
Route 138, established in 1737 and running through Lanaudière, maintains its position as North America's oldest road connecting Quebec City to Montreal.
