On the north side of the river is Île-Bizard: green spaces, heritage buildings and riverside environments are what give it its charm. Rich in biodiversity and natural environments, Île-Bizard, renamed in honor of Jacques Bizard, is bordered by Lac des Deux-Montagnes and Rivière des Prairies. Its nature park offers a moment of calm and peace to those who venture there, while allowing visitors to discover a multitude of species of all kinds. In a panorama marked by a seigniorial and agricultural heritage, you can find a mosaic of architectures.The borough is linked by the Jacques-Bizard Bridge, with the Sainte-Geneviève district on the other side of the river, the heart of the village. This is the borough's educational and cultural hub, including the Cégep Gérald-Godin and the Pauline Julien concert hall. Its proximity to the river gives Sainte-Geneviève residents privileged access to the waterfront.
