Making the Most Out of Your Day

Wharf Activities

In addition to hosting Statera — The Archipelago of Wonders, the ferry dock offers a host of other activities along the majestic St. Lawrence River. Take advantage of your visit to discover the urban beach and Louise Delorme’s art, or simply stroll on the wharf and enjoy the landscapes that are the pride of all Sorelois!

Urban Beach

Fine sand, hammocks, shaded areas and breathtaking views of the river: the wharf’s urban beach is an invitation to fully relax!

Work of Art

Admire Infinité, a luminous sculpture that combines abstraction and representation. Exhibited on the wharf, this work by Louise Delorme offers a sign of identity that coexists in harmony with the impressive exterior dome that towers over the St. Lawrence River.

Fresco of the Islands

Discover, on the ferry dock, a huge fresco that faithfully represents the 103 islands of the archipelago. Impressive by its relief and its giant size, the model takes on the appearance of a game where you can move to discover the topography of the islands and admire the magnificent life-size herons carved and painted by the organizations and companies that helped make Statera a reality. Our herons each have a twin who has made his way to the heart of Sorel-Tracy – why not start looking for them and take the opportunity to discover our beautiful city?

Ephemeral Exhibition

A stone’s throw from the ferry dock, an ephemeral course exhibition will take you behind the scenes of Statera, from the first sparks of inspiration to the official opening of the immersive experience, including the intricate technological aspects of the project!

Regard-sur-le-fleuve Park

Comprising both green spaces and a paved path along the river, this dog-accessible waterfront site offers a breathtaking view of the Lake Saint-Pierre archipelago.

Bar Service

Our bar service, open from 11am to 8pm, offers alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, and snacks.

Dining Area

On the ferry dock you will find a space to enjoy your lunch on the banks of the majestic St. Lawrence River.

Restaurants

Located less than five minutes from downtown Sorel-Tracy, the ferry dock where Statera stands is close to many restaurants. Pasta, grills, vegetarian meals, coffee, pastries: something for every palate!

Cabaret Les Années Folles’ Ice Cream Shop

Your Statera multisensory experience wouldn’t be the same without a little treat at the Cabaret Les Années Folles’ ice cream shop, an oasis just a few steps down the wharf that will refresh your summer days. The restaurant is also excellent, with stunning views of the river and the islands.

Parking and Lockers

A parking area is reserved for Statera visitors: it is located at the corner of Ramezay Street and Augusta Street. In addition, for only $3, you can place your personal belongings in the lockers at your disposal. An identity card is required, which will be returned to you upon return of the key.

Ferry

The Sorel-Tracy—Saint-Ignace-de-Loyola crossing accommodates pedestrians, bicycles and motorized vehicles; it is even free of charge for electric and hybrid vehicles! A beautiful way to see the islands while moving between Montérégie and Lanaudière.
