Anjou, Administrative borough in eastern Montreal, Canada
Anjou is a borough in eastern Montreal with residential areas mixed with commercial zones and multiple parks spread throughout. The neighborhood has different sections, ranging from quiet streets with homes to busier shopping areas where families gather.
The area began in 1956 as its own city, built on farmland that had been there before. It grew as a suburb until it became part of Montreal in 2002.
French shapes everyday life here, from street names to local shops and schools. Walking through the neighborhood, you hear French spoken in parks, markets, and on the streets.
Major highways like Autoroute 40 and Autoroute 25 connect the area to downtown Montreal. The shopping center Les Galeries d'Anjou offers convenient access to stores, cafes, and services.
Two public libraries, Jean-Corbeil and Haut-Anjou, serve the community with books and programs. These libraries function as gathering places where residents meet for events and classes.
