Îles Laval

The Îles Laval (French pronunciation: [il laval]) are an island grouping in the Rivière des Prairies in southwestern Quebec, part of the Hochelaga Archipelago.

Almost centred on the Îles Laval area, with the train route running through the centre. Île-Bizard and the Lake of Two Mountains are on the left, Montreal Island on the bottom across the Rivière des Prairies, Laval Island to the right across the Rivière des Prairies, and the North Shore of Montreal across the Rivière des Mille Îles north of Laval Island

Formerly an independent municipality (Les Îles-Laval), they became part of the city of Laval on August 6, 1965.

Geography

Located northeast of Île Bizard between the Island of Montreal and Île Jésus (Laval Island), they include Île Bigras, Île Pariseau, Île Verte and Île Ronde.

Transportation

They are served by the Île-Bigras REM station which crosses the islands. A road bridge links the islands with the Sainte-Dorothée district of Laval, on Île Jésus.

There is a shared taxi, T26, on the island.
