Didn't know there was an "old" Terrebonne. Looks quaint.

Yes flar, I havent been there a lot, but Terrebonne is one of the older colonial towns around Montreal that still have stuff dating back to the 18th, sometimes 17th century. You can find town sections that kept some of the older architecture and street layouts in Pointe-Claire village, St-Eustache and Vieux Longueuil that resemble old Terrebonne. There is also a Terrebonne in Louisiana btw.

So the pictures of the village setting are in Old Terrebonne? Is this in Parc des Braves?

Nice pictures all around.

I never made it to the Old Terrebonne proper, but I did go to île des Moulins once. It's a former industrial island with old architecture between Laval and Terrebonne. You can find some old 18th century country houses throughout the northern neighbourhoods of Montreal and Laval and some on the north shore too. (Ste-Rose in Laval is a old neighbourhood for example) And as montréaliste said houses dating back to (sometimes) 17th and 18th century are common in Pointe-Claire, Lachine, La Prairie, Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue, Beloeil, Vieux Longueuil... I heard Vaudreuil but I've never been there. The oldest house of the island of Montreal is in Lachine and was built in 1669.
