Montreal Gentle Introverts

📍 170 rue Sainte-Hélène, Montréal — meet at the Jean-Drapeau metro exit (Yellow Line; the walk starts and ends right at the station)

📅 Saturday, October 24, 2026

Autumn leaves on the island! 🍂 I did a practice walk of this trail and it's amazing — the fall colours, the river all around. I walked up the Tour de Lévis, and the view from up there was spectacular! I hope there are still leaves left for us to see! 🍁

Come as you are — good talking and good socializing along the way, at an easy, friendly pace. 💛

❗ A heads-up: this is more of a hike than a walk. The total is a bit over 5 km, with a few sloping hills, so we'll be getting a good workout! lol! Please wear appropriate shoes! 👟

Things we will visit:

• The Biosphère
• The Tour de Lévis
• The historic Fort de l'île Sainte-Hélène
• Espace 67
• Calder's Trois disques sculpture
• The waterfront paths all around the island
• Blockhaus

Plan:

• Meet at 2:00 PM at the Jean-Drapeau metro station
• Hike the full loop, a bit over 5 km — about 2.5 hours with photo stops
• After the hike, we'll go out to eat together — join us if you'd like! 🍽️

🎟️ Free — no tickets needed, just show up and walk.

🗺️ The route: I'll include it in the photo below.

❗ Weather plan:

• If Saturday's weather is rain, the hike moves to Sunday — same time, same meeting point
• Or we do the underground downtown walk on Saturday instead, and the hike moves to the following weekend
• I'll confirm here the day before!
