Île Gagnon, islet in Quebec, Canada
Île Gagnon is a small islet in Laval, Quebec, surrounded by water and offering a quiet natural setting. The land is covered with dense trees along its edges and framed by calm water on multiple sides.
The islet was officially named Gagnon on March 29, 1989, though it may have been known by different names in earlier times. This naming marked the formal recognition of the location several decades ago.
The name Gagnon carries no documented meaning or origin, and the local government welcomes people who have stories or information about its background. This openness reflects how residents value local history and connection to the place.
The islet is best reached by boat since it is surrounded by water with no road access. Visitors should bring all necessary supplies, as the location has no tourist facilities or amenities.
The islet is known as the location of a notable residence of Celine Dion featuring French Normandy-style architecture, representing private luxury development on the site. The house demonstrates how residential estates in this area have been designed with natural surroundings and waterfront setting.
