Notices
Mobility
Detours for vehicular traffic on Saturday, April 26, from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m.: Île Sainte-Hélène will be accessible via the Jacques-Cartier Bridge, while Casino guests will have to use the Concorde Bridge.
Transit between the two bridges will not be possible during this period.
Rue des Seagull is one-way between Macdonald Road and Parking lot P11 due to the establishment of a pedestrian detour that provides access to the Biosphere.
The work taking place at the Biosphere should be completed by early June 2025.
Delays and detours to be expected, reduce your speed and follow the directions of the traffic signs.
Canoes, kayaks & pedal boats
For an activity that's out of the ordinary, for taking a break in the bucolic setting of the Beach, or for simply trying out a new type of water craft, you're definitely in the right place.
Shielded from the wind by a vegetation belt, the waters on the lake at Jean-Doré Beach are usually calm, which allows you to safely wend your way without sapping your energy. You can leisurely navigate between the Beach's swimming area and the Casino de Montréal, or you can discover the central part of Île Notre-Dame and the perimeter of the Floralies Gardens by taking the big loop around the lagoons.
Why not try this pleasant and easy activity with your family or among friends on one of those gorgeous summer days!
Éco Tours Montréal
During the summer season, Éco Tours Montréal is set up at the Jean-Doré Beach and provide clientele with a range of watercraft rentals, including: canoes, kayaks and pedal boats.
