Film shoot sites in Montréal’s parks
Montréal, which is located just an hour’s flight away from New York, Boston or Toronto, has become a popular place for film shoots over the past few years.
Montréal’s nature parks, which are located in forests or near bodies of water about 30 minutes from downtown, are the largest urban conservation network in Québec, with 1,300 hectares of natural spaces that are available for the film and television industries.
Lakes, marshes and ponds
Whether you’re looking for sandy beaches, forests, country roads or farmhouses with cultivated fields, lakes, rivers, streams, creeks, marshes or wetlands… look no further!
Forests, fields and paths
Through woodlands, fields and valleys, travel along winding trails, wooden pathways or country roads.
Manors, houses and ruins
The network of large parks is proud of its architectural heritage, with 64 buildings that are available for film shoots.
Historic buildings of the 17th and 18th centuries sit alongside ruins of old factories. A luxurious villa sits next to a traditional farm.
From the peacefulness of a cabin on the shore to a lake with enchanting music or log cabins on the bayou. Our buildings offer so many possibilities!
