Just Like the Good Old Days... of Maple Sugaring!

In the heart of a dense maple forest, Pierre Faucher, the legendary owner and founder of Sucrerie de la Montagne, invites visitors to enjoy maple sugaring season... all year round! The establishment, spanning over 120 acres and resembling a small village of yesteryear, is a true pride of Vaudreuil-Soulanges. Named a "Québec Heritage Site" and a "Signature Canadian Experience," the business is recognized in Québec (and even internationally) for the quality of the experience it offers.
