Parc Jean-Drapeau island paths

Île Sainte-Hélène · Island waterfront run · Free

When I want flat car-free kilometres with a view and no crowds, I take the metro one stop to the islands. There are 10+ km of waterfront paths around Parc Jean-Drapeau, almost entirely traffic-free, looping past the Biosphère dome and the old Expo 67 grounds with the skyline across the water. It's flat, scenic, and far quieter than the canal or the mountain. Skip festival and Grand Prix weekends when the island fills.

10+ km of car-free waterfront paths on the Expo 67 islands, one metro stop away — flat loops with skyline, river, and Biosphère views, almost no traffic.
