Mont-Saint-Hilaire is a town of about 19,000 (2020) near Montreal , east of the Richelieu River, in La Vallée-du-Richelieu , Quebec . It is distinguished by a resort on the east bank of the Richelieu River, agrotourism (orchards, vineyard, cider house, apple products, market gardening products), its three museums, its places of worship, the Center de la Nature Mont Saint-Hilaire, and its nautical infrastructure (docks, landing stages, launching ramps, boat storage) promoting pleasure boating.

Mont-Saint-Hilaire is also the name of the mountain in the town, which overlooks the entire region. It is picturesque and has numerous hiking trails.

Understand [ edit ]

Mont-Saint-Hilaire is an important apple-growing region. There is also a significant deposit of the semi-precious mineral sodalite near Mont-Saint-Hilaire.

History [ edit ]

At all times in history, the Richelieu River has proven to be a natural nerve centre and cross-border route between the St. Lawrence River and Lake Champlain in the United States. This legendary valley contains vestiges of the Amerindian era, of commercial or pleasure navigation, as well as wars and skirmishes between Indigenous people, French, British and Americans.

Thousands of artifacts have been found in the Richelieu River Valley, dating from the Amerindian era, reaching its peak 21,000 years ago. Following the arrival of Europeans in America, the way of life of the Indigenous people was transformed, at first mainly thanks to the metal tools imported from Europe.

The first map of the region was drawn by Samuel de Champlain in 1609. The town of Sorel was founded in 1642. In 1665, the Chambly road was laid out between the towns of Chambly and Longueuil by the troops of the Régiment de Carignan-Salières; it is the first motorable road in Canada. The construction of the Saint-Ours canal (1843) and the Chambly canal (1849) proved to be a significant lever for Canada-United States cross-border trade via the Richelieu, over more than 100 years. At the end of the 19th century, the railways supplanted river transport on the Richelieu.

Jean-Baptiste Hertel de Rouville was granted lordship over the region in 1694. By 1745 a mountain village had been formed with the first chapel being built in 1798 near the Richelieu River. In 1822, a ferry operating between Beloeil and Mont-Saint-Hilaire came into service. A bridge, enabling Beloeil and St. Hilaire to be connected by rail, was built in 1848 by the St. Lawrence and Atlantic Railway. The Campbell family, owners of the mountain after that of Rouville, sold the mountain to a British officer, Brigadier-General Andrew Gault, in whose ownership it remained for 45 years. Gault then bequeathed the mountain to McGill University before his death in 1958.

In 1864, Canada's worst rail disaster occurred here when a passenger train passed a red signal and fell off an open swing bridge into the Richelieu River, killing around 99 people.

Designated the valley of the forts, the valley of the Richelieu River was the scene of military operations during the two Franco-Iroquois wars (1643-1667 and 1684-1701), the intercolonial wars (1689-1760), the American Revolution (1775-1776), the American Revolutionary War (1776-1783) and the War of 1812-1814.

The 1837-38 Patriot Rebellion followed many secret assemblies in the early 19th century aimed at establishing full democracy and French-speaking rights.

Geography [ edit ]

Mont-Saint-Hilaire extends over 9.2 km (5.7 mi) from the east bank of the Richelieu River from the railway bridge over the Richelieu River. The distance is 13.9 km (8.6 mi) between the summit of Mont Saint-Hilaire and that of Mont Rougement; and 11.2 km (7.0 mi) with the summit of Mont Saint-Bruno.

The limit of Mont-Saint-Hilaire stops at the foot of Mont Saint-Hilaire (east side); thus the distance between the Richelieu River (at the height of the bridge) and the eastern limit of the municipality is 5.7 km (3.5 mi).

Get in [ edit ]

By car [ edit ].

Autoroute 20, a freeway, passes along the northern side of the Mont-Saint-Hilaire. Autoroute 20 is part of the Trans-Canada Highway between Longueuil and Rivière-du-Loup .

By train [ edit ]

Mont-Saint-Hilaire is served by the Mont-Saint-Hilaire commuter rail station on the Réseau de transport métropolitain's (RTM) Mont-Saint-Hilaire line. To get there from Montreal if you do not have a car, the easiest approach is to take the AMT commuter trains from Montreal's Gare Centrale (Central Station). Prices and timetables can be found here , and it should cost around $8 each way. As the local train station is 4-5 km from the trailhead, the most effective means to get there is to hitchhike or take a taxi.

St. Hilaire Abbey and Blanquette de Limoux

In the south of Carcassonne is a place called Limoux, next to this is the beautiful abbey of St. Hilaire. An abbey is a type of monastery that is used by members of a religious order. The St. Hilaire Abbey is one of the most renowned monasteries of the Aude department in Languedoc. Long ago, the monks produced a type of sparkling wine which Limoux became known for: the Blanquette de Limoux.

History regarding one of the most beautiful abbeys in France

The history regarding the Abbey of St. Hilaire dates back to the 8 th century. The abbey was built by Hilaire, hence the name, who was the bishop of Carcassonne . Up until the 12 th century, the abbey was prosperous, however, in the Middle Ages, the abbey was largely destroyed. This occurred due to the battle against the Cathars . After the battel the abbey was restored and there was peace up until the 15 th century. During this time the Hundred Year War was occurring, which was a battle between France and England. During this time, the abbey was destroyed again and lastly rebuilt again once the war had ended. During the French Revolution ass of the monks were expelled from the abbey and the building was sold. Finally, the abbey was restored at the beginning of the 20 th century and is currently one of the most beautiful monasteries of the Aude.

Visit the St. Hilaire Abbey during your vacation

Are you on holiday in the Languedoc? If so then a visit to the Abbey is a must. Professional guides will happily provide guided tours and inform you of the building’s history.

Once having climbed the stairs, you will find yourself at the entrance of the abbey. In front of you, you will see a stunning cloister with a beautiful garden. The columns of the cloister are covered in stories from the Old Testament. To the left is the old monastery and upon further exploration you will find the abbot’s house which has prepossessing murals and a breathtakingly decorated ceiling.

The abbey church is located next to the monastery, it is now the parish church for the village. The Romanesque sarcophagus which can be found here, was carved from a single block of white marble during the Middle Ages. Once you leave the church, there is a hall to the left that leads to a flight of stairs which leads to a cellar in which the monks stored the Blanquette de Limoux.

Limoux, a delightful city between Carcassonne and Quillan

After visiting the abbey, you should be sure to visit Limoux. Although it is not as touristy as Carcassonne, which has the famous “Cité” It is however known for its annual Carnival which contains one of the largest parades in France. When walking over the Pont-Neuf, a nearby bridge, you will obtain a beautiful view of the city. 

Close by, there is a mountain called the "Pic de Bugarach", it is the highest mountain in the Corbières, standing at 1,230m, and also being nicknamed: The Holy Mountain. There are multiple stories involving this mountain, as the top of the mountain is thousands of years older than the bottom part. Due to this it is also referred to as the inverted mountain and the stories involve hidden treasures, UFO’S and strange lights. The mountain can be visited and walked along.

Blanquette de Limoux

At the beginning of our era a man called Titus Livius wrote a book about the history of Rome, this book, although written a very long time ago, already mentioned the white wine of Limoux, this shows the extent of it its fame. Wine has been produced in Limoux for multiple centuries. In 1531 a monk from the Abbey of St. Hillaire discovered how to make the sparkling wine that Limoux would become known for: the Blanquette de Limoux. As discovered in 1531 the sparkling Banquette de Limoux is therefore much older that Champagne, which was discovered by Dom Pérignon in 1668.

Considering its history, the Blanquette de Limoux is the most famous wine in the city, it is made from Mauzac grape, which provides a unique taste of apples.

Wineries and tastings

There are various wineries and tastings in Limoux and its surrounding area. All types of wine are sold here and during tastings you will have the opportunity to try (sip on) several varying types of wine that all come with unique tastes and stories. Some wineries even offer guided tours and vineyard viewing.
