Sainte-Rose, Quebec

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sainte-Rose is a neighbourhood in Laval, Quebec.

Sainte-Rose is delimited on the north by the Rivière des Mille-Îles, on the west by Fabreville, on the north-east by Auteuil, on the south-east by Vimont and on the south by Chomedey. It was incorporated as a village in 1850, and was a separate town until the 1965 municipal mergers which amalgamated all the municipalities on Île Jésus into a single City of Laval.

Ste-Rose is best known for the parish church, erected 1740, which contains a Casavant organ and hosts numerous concerts every year, and for "Vieux Ste-Rose", a charming area known for its attractive old houses and fine restaurants.

Ste-Rose is also the birthplace of painter Marc-Aurèle Fortin and priest Antoine Labelle.

It is served by city bus lines operated by the Société de transport de Laval and by commuter trains of the Blainville-Saint-Jerome Line of the Agence métropolitaine de transport (AMT).
