Val-Saint-François

Come for a visit… decide to stay!

Major cities: Richmond, Valcourt, Windsor

The Val-Saint-François territory’s three unique epicentres, Valcourt, Richmond, and Windsor, provide a vibrant atmosphere where a world of possibilities awaits. You can sense the satisfaction of our locals with their brilliant decision to settle in the north Estrienne region. Birthplace to Joseph-Armand Bombardier, one of Quebec’s greatest builders and inventor of the snowmobile, you can still feel his presence thanks to a communal entrepreneurial spirit. You can also enjoy the union of Francophone and Anglophone cultures celebrated in both the architecture and the values of the region’s inhabitants. And with its proximity to services, Val-Saint-François is the perfect place for families!

Be Passionate and Get Inspired

Val-Saint-François is home to both enthusiastic people and exciting events. For example, the Grand Prix Ski-doo de Valcourt. It is also the perfect place for children to grow and thrive, as demonstrated by our youth involvement. By taking on their carbon-neutral project, children at the Odyssey School have shown that they are engaged, passionate, and not afraid to make a difference.

Family and Community Spirit

The residents of Val-Saint-François are rightfully proud of the ever-present founding legacy of Joseph-Armand Bombardier and his family. It is this sense of pride and the importance of family that inspires the community to forge close ties and come together, for example during the St. Patrick’s Day festivities.
