Sentier du Paysan

Description

The bike path crosses the Jardins-de-Napierville MRC territory from east to west. It passes through the municipalities of Cantic, Saint-Bernard-de-Lacolle, Saint-Patrice-de-Sherrington, Canton d’Hemmingford and Sainte-Clotilde. The all-asphalt route follows an old railway right-of-way. It is sheltered from traffic and away from villages.

Named “Le Sentier du Paysan”, this multifunctional trail is the MRC’s most important infrastructure project.
