Overview
Île Perrot (French pronunciation: [il pɛʁo]) is an island west of the island of Montreal in the Canadian province of Quebec. Part of the Hochelaga Archipelago, the island lies between Lake Saint-Louis and Lac des Deux-Montagnes. The island was granted by the Intendant Talon of New France to its founder François-Marie Perrot then-Governor of Montreal on 28 October 1672. Nearly 40,000 people live in one of Île Perrot's four municipalities:
Notre-Dame-de-l'Île-Perrot Pincourt Terrasse Vaudreuil L'Île-Perrot It is part of the Vaudreuil-Soulanges Regional County Municipality of the Montérégie region. This is the only off-island suburban area of Montreal to use Montreal's own 514 area code, with all others being allocated to 450. The island is connected to Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue, on the West Island of Montreal, via the Galipeault Bridge. Île Perrot holds the only working windmill in Quebec, dating from the time Île-Perrot was a seigneury in the French colony of New France. The windmill and associated miller's house were designated a National Historic Site in 1969, and a Historic Monument under provincial heritage legislation in 1977. In the windmill's honour, what now constitutes the commercial artery of the island was named boulevard Don-Quichotte.

It's a bit scary to be in a stopped train right next to this.
