Today we take a trip to Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue, the West Island of Montreal. It was our first time on the West End of the Island of Montreal and it did not disappoint. We met some friendly locals, had some good food and drinks, and even flew my drone. The drone still needs a name... leave a comment with suggestions ;)

Question of the Day... Do you prefer living in a big city, or a quiet town close to nature?

[@Madzguy007]

Quiet town close to nature....and not too far from a big city either.

[@sprinklepancake]

maybe a mix of both yk not totally a big buzzy city but also not just a boring town so a mix would be quite nice to have

[@MercTelmos]

Quiet town close to nature

[@mazamental]

Ever since Covid, I prefer quiet town close to nature! It feels so good to get away from screens and zoom calls 🙌🏽

[@jamiekowski9201]

Both have its pro's and con's, I'm moving from Hochelaga, Montreal up North to Saint-Sauveur, cant wait for the peace and nature of the North! welcome to visit :)

[@CaptnGino]

I'm from Montreal, born and raised in the east part of the town. I went to Saint-Anne once and it felt so weird since it's on the island, but it's like a small coastal village. I loved it!

[@samaraogorman]

This is my hometown! I have lived in Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue for 22 years. I have always told my family that when I move out, I plan to move right back into this town. I went to school at John Abbott, Cunningham's is my second home, I attend that farmer's market every Saturday.... as a long time subscriber this is SURREAL. Thank you so much for the warm &kind words about my town.

[@wambraceramicspriscillacha5784]

Hi! Sainte Anne de Bellevue is on west island ? So is not francophone?

[@legroscwlss7456]

Juste pour savoir est ce que tu parles francais aussi? Parce que je sais que les anglophones de Montréal détestent le Québec, refusent de parler français et méprisent tout ce qui est québécois, pour la majorité!!

[@YanikCrepeau1]

From Lionel-Groulx métro station, you can take bus #211 and about 90 minutes later you are at Sainte-Anne de Bellevue. The Montreal-Hudson commuter train also has a station there.

Love the way this vlog took me to west side of Montreal. And I'm in Zimbabwe. Never been to Canada. Thanks for taking us along. This was very enjoyable. More day trips please!

[@kimberlyholborn1324]

Thanx for sharing West Island with us, I’ve never been before but am looking forward to seeing it for myself 😃

[@a-lyn5449]

Definitely need to hit up Cap St-Jacques in Pierrefonds & L’Anse-à-l’Orme parc on waterfront nearby. Good recommendation from Alex. Native Montrealer; I love watching you discover the island :)

[@sandraevangelista601]

Thank you for creating this series of videos of Montreal neighbourhoods and for showcasing this wonderful island in such a beautiful way 🙏🏼

[@denisemuill3018]

Nice job - everyone seems very happy! Lots of local tip and places to see! I also have to say Nari is looking beautiful and her English has improved so much! Your video was up lifting ❤️

[@canadious6933]

That's awesome, I live not far from there, the whole west island is a great city outside the city, in a way. The whole island has so much to see.

[@goturaco6673]

Very nice memories of the West Island - awesome. Next time do a video on Pointe-Claire :)

[@mazamental]

Amazing video man!! The area looks so different than Montreal, it’s the perfect spot to feel outside from the city with a simple logistic! Also, a lot of good tech in your video! The drone shots are amazing, can’t wait to see more + the blue box is exactly what any KZbinr needs on camping trips! 😂 I’m gonna consider getting one for sure! Take care!

[@Simonca]

I will be moving to Montreal from Toronto (hopefully before the end of this year) and I am glad I found your videos, they are very interesting and they will certainly help me get more informed about Montreal. Thank you/Merci beaucoup.

Love Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue! My parents live on the West Island and every time I return home from Alberta to visit, Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue is my go to place. ❤

[@curiousoddity]

Please remind people from Alberta that there are a lot of native English speakers here :)

[@AlexKongMX]

Yaaay this is awesome Dan, thank you so much for such a nice trip and company man, we enjoyed it very much, let's repeat it soon, big hug man :D

[@DiscoverMontréal]

Beautiful! That gorgeous red building is where I went to CEGEP. Such a relaxing atmosphere, glad you enjoyed :)

[@zoulzopan]

Should've visited point claire village too if you're in st Anne's. Across from st Anne's over highway 40 theres Morgan arboretum for walking in the parc and near it there's a quaint zoo called ecomuseum that hosts animals from all over quebec

[@Melissad-gj7dp]

no way! I grew up in Ste-Annes. I've been watching you for awhile now, so it's super neat to see you visit somewhere thats so familiar to me. I also go to John Abbott College, where you flew the drone ,so that was pretty cool to see!

[@matthieulachapelle135]

You want see nature in Montreal go in Cap Saint Jacques and Île Bizard or Bois de Liesse also you don't need a car to go there. Also at Sainte-Geneviève you can see old architecture like the beautiful church Sainte-Geneviève of Montreal that was there since 1844.

[@pidgelord9445]

next time go check out the eco museum in saint annes - it's quite nice. Also outside of montreal trip i recommend Coaticcok - Compton in the eastern townships it'S very nice in the fall. Orchards cheese and hiking

[@omegadeltazero]

Happy to see you checked out the West end of mtl it's such a gem ngl 😌

[@terryomalley1974]

Cool. If you'd travelled a few km's eastward, you would have hit my old stomping grounds of Pointe Claire and Dollard des Ormeaux. Used to hit the bars out in Ste. Anne when I was in university. Ah, memories. You're making me homesick, dude.

[@evelynproulx1853]

Ground cherry is called "cerises de terre" in French! 🙂 and as a matter of facts, I live nearby (well about 20 minutes west of Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue) . On a next expedition, if you decide to expend the territory of your adventures, you should come to my neck of the hood. I live in a small town, Rigaud which is almost at the border of Ontario. So I'm midway between Ottawa and Montréal. I've worked in Montréal for several years and was commuting by train mostly. On very few occasions did I take the car to go to work! I prefered commuting instead of living in Montréal. I love my tranquility here... it was pretty rural but not so much now|

[@CarcPazu]

I live in the west-island, I'd say the entire area is nice. When you life in the west-island, you pretty much never need to go anywhere east or downtown, we have almost everything here, but you absolutely need a car or else it's pretty limiting. Driving in the west-island is great though, not much traffic and parking everywhere.

[@dan30308]

When I was a child, my grandpa had a summer cottage on Lac St. Luc (at least I think that was what it was called). I believe it was in that same vicinity. Idyllic place.

[@guyduquebec344]

*Dan,* *On Lac Saint-Louis in the St. Lawrence River.* ❤️

[@dan30308]

@@guyduquebec344 OUI! Thank you. It WAS Lac St. Louis.

[@MercTelmos]

If you like bicycles, you can try the cycling path of the Lachine canal. It's 13,5km. You ride next to the water pretty much the entire time. It's from the Old port all the way to the municipality of Lachine. I'm sure you can rent a bike somewhere around it.

[@daverhoden445]

Back in the day, St. Anne was our Thursday night party spot. The video actually starts right by my old parking spot.

[@johngore7744]

We used to buy acid at Brasserie Pis Dru. That was back in the 1970s. I think it is Annie’s now. The inside at the back where we scored was up some stairs and painted hospital green it was awful. The Window Pane acid was good. I swore when we were tripping that I had left with someone else’s hands. Lol. My god. I was 18. It f-I got hilarious. We used wander all along Lakeshore road from Sue Anne’s to the Maples Inn in Pointe Claire (on foot or bicycle ) totally ripped we’d often go up to the cemetery and play hide and seek on acid. It was terrifying. One time my friend jumped in to a 5foot deep hole and when I went by he grabbed my ankle. Holy shit we had some good times.

[@alexysq2660]

Well, you could of course call her "Anne" - your new drone - in honour of > where you've now inaugurated her maiden flight?! Et en vrai toi t'es tout mignon, *Dan* 😊 ; yet another very cool, marvellous, video-vlog 💚💖💚💖 ...!!!

Hey I felt the same way when I discovered Saint-Anne-de-Belle-Vue and I live here!

[@JimBeary]

I've been kind of "put off" to road trip to Montreal because of all the warnings about driving in the city, but this video wipes away all the apprehension and makes me definitely want to start making plans. Hopefully before the snow pack forms! 😅

[@fmichlick]

Thank you for finally visiting the West Island. I love living a bit outside town, but I dislike having to rely on the car.

[@andrewgarcia8589]

Hey dane i am new to your vedio y i from toronto and i love montreal and i know everything and been there to mntl over 5 times

[@johngore7744]

What about Pointe Claire village (est in the 1700s) and all the water front parks along Lakeshore road , Beaconsfield Boul and pointe Claire thru to Lachine. You missed 90% of the West Island.

[@margoburns9085]

Well that was a nice little tour of St. Anne, but that wasn't the west island. It consists of St. Anne de Bellevue, Beaconfield, Pointe Claire and Dorval. All a part of the West Island. Oh, and locals don't call it the west end, just west island. Was nice to see my old college town. Thanks.

[@stephenkrus]

Holy Shit! 😳 You also have that ginormous battery charger! You kinda overly prepared. 😅 Good on ya'! ✨👍

I live 5 min from Ste Anne’s. I’ve also had a couple of holidays in Peurto Morales (Quintana Roo) it was lovely. You guys did a great job preserving the Coral reef just off Unico Beach. Tacos .Com great food and the people are super friendly. Would love to come back. Tallum is beautiful. And the little Church in town had a Christmas concert and the kids were all dressed up. Super fond memories Gracias Mexico. 😎

[@johngore7744]

Sometimes I google map and look at the tilted lighthouse and little fishing boats. It’s like paradise

[@platonfoucault1087]

Even the francophone call it «West Island», and «Fairview» not «Pointe-Claire», «DeeDeeO» and not «Dollard-des-ormeaux or Dé-Dé-O». So, yes, much more anglophone.

[@pierresig5286]

[@Darkdragon5544]

Hey you just visited my native little hood Few things: 1- You featured unknowingly my dad's place in the background 2- That water spot, specifically, is called the "Rivière Sainte-Anne" since across the bridge is an island (Ile Perrot) and the Ottawa River is officially the other side 3- Careful, Drone regulations also have to do with the distance you operate from the airport, it can be expensive 4- Stop calling them patios; restaurants in Quebec have terrasses, even in the West Island 5- Yes, the West Island is more Anglophone, Sainte-Anne de Bellevue used to be more Francophone but the college and the McGill campus turned demography 6- Times ago it was a real party town!! Especially Thursdays at Annies!!
