Champlain lines the St. Lawrence River, blending centuries-old heritage with everyday convenience. Follow the historic Chemin du Roy through the village core to find clapboard homes, a graceful church, and river views that glow at sunset. Commuting is simple: downtown Trois-Rivières lies just across the way, Bécancour is minutes over the bridges, and weekend getaways to Shawinigan or Quebec City are straightforward. Part of Les Chenaux, the municipality keeps a relaxed pace without losing access to cultural venues and employment hubs.
