Geography

  • The geographical location of Plessisville allows it to benefit from a very pleasant microclimate.
  • Lodged in Piedmont des Appalaches, the small municipality finds itself at the economic heart of Quebec, between the cities of Montreal, Quebec, Sherbrooke and Three Rivers.
  • This location gives its businesses direct access to millions of consumers around the world.

In fact, Plessisville has the advantage of being close to many ports, such as those of Bécancour, Montreal and Quebec.  It also has a regional airport only few minutes from the city, equipped with a 4000-foot long, 75-foot wide asphalt runway, which can accommodate small jets, propeller planes and helicopters.  In addition, the Jean Lesage Airport in Quebec is only 95 kilometres away.

Access to the large Canadian and American cities is easier with highway 20 so close by.  Plessisville is also home to several important transport companies, which confirms its strategic location.
