It’s territory is nestled within the municipality of Duhamel-Ouest, borders the Ontario border, and travels across Lake Temiskaming.
Winner of the contest for the most beautiful village in the province of Quebec conducted by the newspaper La Presse in 2012, Ville-Marie is most impressive for it’s majestic lake and scenic beauty. Bordering Lake Temiskaming avails this municipality an aura of calm which makes for a most relaxing vacation. As well described by Mrs. Violaine Ballivy, journalist with La Presse, in her article dated June 26, 2012: “ This majestic lake with dimensions as impressing on paper(110 km long) as are it’s banks and water. It is no less than a sea in the interior! The opposite shore is that of another province – Ontario -, and the ones to the right and to the left, under the total domination of Mother Nature: bordered with forests and fields amidst valleys which go as far as the eye can see “.
Ville-Marie was the filming location for the television episode La Petite Seduction. The event with the participation of the townspeople was a great success.
“Ville-Marie on the Lake” is the slogan for this most ancient community of the region. Stroll through the streets and discover the century old Victorian style homes, an ancient school of agriculture built in field stones and the old city centre with Boom Town facades. Only steps away from the centre of town, Centennaire Park, the starting point of La Route Verte, offers a spectacular view of the lake. This park is the perfect location for cultural and festive events and live presentations that fill the tourist season.
