Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve
Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve is a 4,361-metre long car-racing track which has played host to the Formula 1 Grand Prix du Canada since 1978.
Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve is well-regarded for its smooth asphalt surface and the meticulous manner in which the track is maintained to meet the requirements of the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA). These track conditions contribute to the high-calibre racing performances by the F1 cars.
Multi-purpose track
When it is not hosting an event, the Circuit is a one-of-a-kind facility in the province of Québec, where cycling, para-cycling, inline skating and running enthusiasts come to train.
Surrounded by lush gardens and a wide assortment of art works, the Circuit is a pleasant and relaxing place, a nice spot to go for a stroll. This multi-purpose track also provides a great view of Montréal, with its strategic location in the heart of the Saint Lawrence River.
Provélo
During the summer season, certain Wednesday and Thursday evenings are reserved for cycling training. During these periods, the Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve is closed off to vehicular traffic and cyclists can enjoy the track in complete safety.
The Provélo periods are finished for the 2025 season, see you next year!
Code of conduct
The Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve is a unique venue, popular every day with cyclists, runners, pedestrians, and motorists.
To help ensure safe and harmonious sharing of the space, consult the code of conduct and "Circuitez en toute sécurité" by adopting the right habits!
