Gentilly, Quebec

[1] The village is home to a traditionally French-speaking population and hosts the famous yearly Potirothon.

The Parc Regional de la Rivière Gentilly[3] is close to town and offers hiking, camping, mountain biking and kayaking.

In 1647 the Company of New France, or Company of One Hundred Associates (Compagnie des Cent-Associés) as it was more commonly known, sold two fiefs to Nicolas Marsolet and Pierre Lefebvre on the shores of the Saint-Lawrence River and the Gentilly River.

The same year Pelletier got Intendant Bouterouse to grant him a parcel of land bordering Nicolas Marsolet's fief.

[9] On 10 April 1900, the parish of Saint-Édouard-de-Gentilly was broken up, and the town became an independent village, taking on the shorter name of Gentilly.
