Marieville

Marieville offers several ways to enjoy a stay: cycling paths and a longer cycling route are ideal for days on a bike, while the historic walking tour explores the city’s past. Other attractions include Parc de Sainte-Marie-de-Monnoir, an indoor swimming pool, and the annual Marché de Noël. When choosing your vacation rental, you can consider whether you’d like to focus your trip primarily on culture, cycling, or recreational activities.

Cycling in and around Marieville

Marieville has more than 12 km of cycling paths and bike lanes. For trip planning, this is separate from the regional La Route des Champs: it is a 40 km linear cycling route from Chambly to Granby. Since 2024, there has also been a new 8 km section between Marieville and Richelieu, along a former railway line. These figures describe different routes and should not be combined into a single distance when planning.

The surface is also a practical consideration for cyclists: more than 90 percent of La Route des Champs is paved, while the rest is surfaced with stone dust. If you’re looking for a vacation rental and cycling is a priority, you can take these details into account alongside your own route planning. They describe the route’s length, course, and surface, but not how much of it you might want to ride in a day.

City history on a walking tour

The historic walking tour introduces Marieville’s history through 16 points of interest, most of them in the city center. It covers places and people that have shaped the city’s past. The tour thus provides a historical context for exploring, rather than simply presenting a series of individual stops.

The walking tour includes 16 interpretive panels. Fifteen of them were installed in June 2022. The panels and points of interest provide ways to explore the city’s history and the people and places that shaped it. If you enjoy learning more about the places you visit, you can plan this tour as a focus in its own right alongside outdoor activities.

Parks, swimming, and seasonal activities

Parc de Sainte-Marie-de-Monnoir is the largest park in Marieville. In summer, it has pickleball courts. Pickleball is therefore a seasonal activity to consider when planning a stay during the warmer months, rather than something to assume is available year-round.

Another recreational option is the 20-meter indoor pool at École secondaire Mgr-Euclide-Théberge, which is open to the public. The facility includes changing rooms with showers and toilets, as well as two saunas. It offers open swim sessions and private and group lessons. The indoor pool complements the activities at Parc de Sainte-Marie-de-Monnoir with a separate option at a school. If you’re considering swimming, taking a lesson, or using the sauna, these details describe what the facility offers and can be factored into your travel plans.

Local producers at the Marché de Noël

Every year, the Marché de Noël de Marieville brings local producers and artisans together on Rue du Pont in the city center. The Christmas market offers a different focus from the cycling route, walking tour, and sports activities: local producers and crafts take center stage. As an annual event, it’s another occasion to keep in mind when planning your trip.
