Montréal - Île Notre-Dame
Being so close to the city this man-made island of Île Notre-Dame with its lake of the same name and Bassin Olympique (where the Olympic rowing events were held) is an immensely popular recreation area.
In 1980 Île Notre-Dame played host to "Les Floralies", the world-famous International Garden Festival. Flower lovers can still enjoy the splendor of the displays adorning the lovely gardens.
