Living in Varennes
South Shore East
Varennes has a dual identity — a historic seigneurial settlement with a charming waterfront and stone church on one hand, and a significant petrochemical and clean energy industrial base (including a major green hydrogen facility) on the other. The St. Lawrence views are genuine and the prices are reasonable.
