Laurentides, Administrative region in Quebec, Canada

The Laurentides region extends across 22,517 square kilometers of varied landscapes between Montreal and the Labrador Sea, featuring mountains, lakes, and forests.

Indigenous communities inhabited the Laurentian territory for centuries before European settlers established permanent settlements and developed forestry industries in the 1800s.

The region maintains strong French-Canadian traditions through its architecture, cuisine, and seasonal festivals that celebrate maple syrup production and winter sports.

Saint-Jérôme functions as the administrative center, providing government services and connecting eight municipalities through an extensive transportation network.

The geological composition of the Laurentides includes deposits of iron, copper, zinc, and lead within the ancient rock formations of the Canadian Shield.
