Although Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu only came into being eight years ago, it has a rich and glorious past because of the history carried by the former municipalities comprised. Outstanding military achievements, the opening of Canadian railways and the earthenware industry have all contributed to Saint-Jean's history; the presence of Acadian deportees and patriots is still palpable in Acadia; Saint-Luc grew around Fort Sainte-Thérèse and the construction of the Chambly canal; Manoir Christie is reminiscent of a magnificent era in Iberville and Saint-Athanase. Visitors can relive highlights of our history along three heritage tours. Every year come August the town becomes the Canadian capital of hot-air ballons. Its cultural liveliness, boating activities and links to three bikeways make Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu a tourist destination worth putting on your agenda.
