A bit more: In Trois Rivieres, if you like church architecture, the Ursuline Convent is marvellous, as is the St Joseph Seminary.
And along the south shore, there is not a more picturesque town than Boucherville, where lots of Montreal's hoi-polloi live.
Well hoi-polloi is a bit of a derogatory term. I lived in Boucherville for 17 years in my youth when it was a quaint small town of 5,000 people. It supported a lot of farming and essentially was a blue collar town for businesses/manufacturers in the area. Today the population is about 43,000 with 3 industrial parks and host of large companies.
With the population of the Montreal region being over 3.8 million there's really not much of Montreal's hoi-polloi there. :B
