Urban getaway in downtown Laval!

Who says you can't plan a trip to downtown Laval without using your car? I've put together a perfect itinerary for those who want to get away from it all by using public transport!

Departure point: Montmorency metro station

We sometimes forget how easy, fast and convenient it is to take the metro! Montmorency station, located at the very end of the orange line in Laval, will be the starting point for your urban escapade. The terminus is very well served, so it's accessible to all and easy to find your way around. Head to the BIXI terminal for the rest!

BIXI in Laval, yes!

You've probably already heard about the ease of use of these famous bikes! Now available in both electric-assist and classic versions, getting around downtown Laval is child's play. The BIXI terminal is located near Place Bell, which is our next stop...

"Ville de Laval is part of the BIXI bike-sharing network. This collaboration enables Ville de Laval to contribute to efficient, active and sustainable mobility, while helping to fight climate change by offering an alternative to the car for Laval residents' travel needs."

Place Bell, terrace atmosphere

Whether you're planning to catch a show or simply enjoy a break in the sun, a stop at Place Bell' s terraces is a must! It's the perfect place to enjoy a meal or a drink with friends before continuing on with the day or evening. You can never go wrong with Gatto Mattomy favorite restaurant in downtown Laval!

Time to store!

How could we not stop at CF Carrefour Laval while you're at it? The reputation of this magnificent shopping center is well established, and it's the perfect place to store or window-shop... Strolling through the garden is a must. This enchanting setting immediately transports us to a serene oasis! Of course, there's a BIXI station right next door, making it even easier to get the most out of your visit without having to worry about parking your car!

Treat yourself at Centropolis

A trip to downtown Laval wouldn't be complete without a visit to Centropolis! Easily accessible on foot from CF Carrefour Laval, this vibrant shopping suburb boasts an incomparable atmosphere! Everyone gathers around the central fountain to relax, stroll or enjoy the surrounding terraces. There's plenty of choice on the menu, with something for everyone! I'd still like to suggest my personal favorite: the Randolph, Pub Ludique. Hundreds of board games are on offer, as well as a tempting menu for a bite to eat between two games of Doctor Pill - giggles guaranteed!

What's more, from July 7 to August 25, Centropolis's Place Centrale will be offering a festival-style musical program for you to experience a summer around the world!

Festivities to round off the evening!
