Saint-Eustache

Saint-Eustache is a suburban municipality in the Laurentides region that sits along the Mille-Îles River north of Montreal. The area mixes residential neighborhoods with open farmland, creating a blend of town and country living.

The Battle of Saint-Eustache occurred in December 1837 when British forces clashed with local rebels in a confrontation that marked a turning point in the region. This conflict left visible marks on the town's structures that remain today.

Saint-Eustache Church stands as the community's focal point, drawing residents together throughout the year for various occasions. The building embodies the town's identity and serves as a gathering space that bridges past and present.

The town is accessible via Highway 640, which links it directly to Montreal and simplifies regional travel. Public transportation through Exo provides commuters with regular service options for getting around the area.

The Moulin Légaré is a working water-powered mill that still produces flour using its original grinding stones from the 1700s. This operating mill gives visitors a glimpse into how grain milling actually worked in earlier times.
