Saint-Marc-sur-Richelieu blends riverfront living, village-scale calm, and quick access to urban amenities. Set along the Richelieu River with orchards and mountain views nearby, it’s an easy commute to Montreal, while everyday services and dining await in neighboring Beloeil and Mont-Saint-Hilaire. Cyclists love cruising the Route verte, with scenic stretches right by town, and paddlers make the most of long, lazy routes on the river. Winter brings groomed trails close by at Parc national du Mont‑Saint‑Bruno, a favorite for cross‑country skiing and snowshoeing.
Families are served by the Centre de services scolaire des Patriotes for French public schools and the Riverside School Board for English options, with secondary choices and sports programs accessible across the South Shore, including in Longueuil. For weekend field trips and science outings, the Gault Nature Reserve on Mont Saint‑Hilaire offers year‑round hiking and learning programs.
Food lovers will appreciate river‑view cuisine at Hôtel Rive‑Gauche in Beloeil and the area’s seasonal farm stands. History buffs can trace regional heritage along the Chambly Canal National Historic Site, an easy day trip. Community life stays active through local events, parks, and recreation activities coordinated by the municipality, which also provides updates on services and permits.
