Montmagny

Montmagny is a regional municipality in Quebec situated between the Saint Lawrence River estuary and the Appalachian Mountains. The territory combines fertile lowlands in the north with more rugged terrain to the south.

The municipality was named after Charles de Montmagny, the first governor of New France during the early colonial era. The region became part of the French colonial settlement and remained a significant part of French heritage in North America.

The town hosts two major annual festivals that draw visitors and reflect what matters to local residents. The accordion and snow goose celebrations reveal traditions that have become central to how people here mark their year.

The municipality offers various facilities including sports arenas, swimming pools, and public parking in several locations. Visitors will also find electric charging stations and should consider seasonal conditions when planning their visit.

The South River runs through the urban area and merges with other waterways before flowing into the Saint Lawrence River. This river system shapes the geography and creates distinct natural zones throughout the territory.
