Charlemagne

Charlemagne is a small municipality situated along the north shore of Rivière des Prairies in the Greater Montreal region. The town functions as a residential community with local services and amenities for its residents.

The municipality was established in 1906 as an independent administrative entity. This founding marked the start of its development as a separate town within the expanding Montreal region.

The town reflects French Canadian identity through its street names, community events, and the everyday use of French in local life. This heritage shapes how the place feels and how residents interact with their neighborhood.

The town sits along the riverbank, making it accessible for walks and exploration of the waterfront area. Local shops and parks throughout the community allow visitors to get around on foot.

Singer Céline Dion grew up in this town, and a street name and sculpture honor her connection to the place. This detail draws fans and curious visitors interested in the early home of a world-famous artist.
