Getting There

• Car

  If you're traveling by car from anywhere in Montérégie, start by heading towards the Champlain Bridge. Depending on your starting location, you may need to take routes such as Route 132 or Autoroute 10 to connect to Boulevard LaSalle. Follow the signs for 'Montréal' and take the exit for the Champlain Bridge. Once on the bridge, keep an eye out for the exit for Verdun. After exiting the bridge, continue on Boulevard LaSalle, which will lead you directly to Nuns' Island. Make sure to pay the toll for the Champlain Bridge, which is approximately $3.50 CAD for passenger vehicles. Once you reach the island, follow the local roads to explore its parks and residential areas.

• Public Transportation

  For those interested in public transportation, start by taking the Longueuil-Université-de-Sherbrooke Metro Line from Montérégie. Board the Metro Green Line towards Angrignon. Once you reach the Angrignon station, transfer to the 12 Verdun bus, which will take you towards Nuns' Island. Make sure to check the bus schedule ahead of time, as service may vary. The complete journey may take approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour. The fare for a single trip is approximately $3.50 CAD. Pay for your fare when you board the bus, or you can use a transit pass if you have one.
