The Église St. Jacques

The Église St. Jacques -- A beautiful 19th-century church located in the heart of the town at the junction of St. Augustine Road and Notre-Dame Street. This is sometimes calledthe "Paroisse St. Jacques" or among the anglophone population, "St. Jacques Church". It is very hard to miss. It is located along the Main Road. They have a website: www.paroissestjacques.com, but the website is in French only.

New York Central Recreational Trail -- Pedestrian trail lined with trees that block the view of the urban features of the town. The New York Central Recreational Trail is free to access. A parking lot in the central part of the town is the start of the trail, which continues for several kilometres into Russell. Be sure to use insect repellent in the summer as mosquitos and black flies are common among the bike path. Walking or bicycling down the bike path is a relaxing experience.
