Verdun
A river beach, an arena and a pedestrian main street
Verdun runs along the St. Lawrence on the Green line. The beach and the Auditorium sit next to each other on Boulevard LaSalle, and Rue Wellington is the main shopping street. Most of the outdoor attractions are seasonal.
The beach is the summer draw. The Plage de Verdun is at 4110 Boulevard LaSalle, near De l'Église station. Swimming is allowed inside the buoys during supervised hours, and you can call 514 280-0789 to check the water before you go.
The Auditorium de Verdun next door is the winter counterpart, with two rinks and reserved open skating. Rue Wellington, a few blocks inland, goes pedestrian through the summer.
Getting there
The Green line serves Verdun. De l'Église station is the closest to the beach and the Auditorium. The waterfront path follows the river between the two.
What to see
The beach library at the Plage de Verdun lends books and outdoor gear for free, Friday to Sunday from 10:00 to 17:00 in summer. Maison Nivard-De Saint-Dizier at 7244 Boulevard LaSalle shows the exhibit Vestiges du passé until 30 April 2027.
The Natatorium at 6500 Boulevard LaSalle is a free summer swimming site further south. The Verdun waterfront path ties the beach, the Auditorium and the riverside parks together on foot or by bike. In winter an unplowed 625-metre stretch is used for fat biking, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing.
Where to eat and drink
Rue Wellington has terraces and rest areas in summer, and the Notre-Dame-des-Sept-Douleurs church at 4155 anchors the street. Individual restaurant details weren't confirmed from official pages for this guide.
Good to know
The beach season ran 13 June to 30 August in 2026, so most summer sites are closed now. The Auditorium is open 6:30 to 22:00 daily, and the museum on LaSalle runs only from mid-May to mid-October. The beach is a short walk from De l'Église station, and paid parking is on site. Greet people with Bonjour, hi.
