Îles Percées
At the dawn of the colonisation of New France, the picturesque South Shore region down the St. Lawrence River from Montreal was divided into seigniories. This area of the river has many islands that are so close together that they seem to be separated by several streams. This is the origin of the name Îles Percées (literally meaning Pierced Islands) seigniory, which covers the region from Longueuil to Verchères, passing through Saint-Bruno.
