Estrie, Administrative region in southern Quebec, Canada

Estrie covers 10,212 square kilometers of territory with mountains, lakes, and forests spread across nine regional municipalities, including Sherbrooke as its capital city.

The region transformed from an English-speaking settlement in the Eastern Townships to a predominantly French-speaking area, now with 89.2% of residents using French.

Through its network of schools, universities, and cultural centers, Estrie maintains both French and English educational institutions, including Bishop's University in Lennoxville.

The region connects to major urban centers through multiple highways, while offering extensive public services and facilities across its municipalities and counties.

Mont-Mégantic, Mont-Orford, Frontenac, and Yamaska parks provide natural spaces for outdoor activities, complementing the region's agricultural and industrial sectors.
