RICHMOND

Located between Sherbrooke and Drummondville, Richmond occupies a strategic position in the Eastern Townships. A heritage town and the northern gateway to the region, it stands out for its railway heritage and its unique architecture marked by slate roofs.

The downtown area bears witness to a past that remains very much alive, with historic buildings such as the former train station and the convent, now transformed into an arts centre. This architectural identity is part of the “Pays de l’ardoise” (Slate Country), where agricultural landscapes, local culture, and British, Irish, and Scottish heritage come together.

Richmond offers a living environment where heritage blends seamlessly with outdoor activities. Hiking, cycling, and agritourism allow visitors and residents to discover the region at a human pace, in a pastoral and accessible setting.

In Richmond, beauty lies in the harmony between history, architecture, and territory. It is a place chosen for its distinctive character, its gentle way of life, and its simple way of connecting the past with everyday life. Because feeling good here means living in a place that has a story to tell.
