Microbrasserie Dieu Du Ciel is perfectly situated at the end of Le P'tit train du Nord route. Understandably, it's the perfect way to end your ride. Enjoy a nice beer (other drinks are available) to celebrate a great adventure.

The portion of the P’tit Train du Nord linear park between Saint-Jérôme and Prévost will be paved in 2025. This is one of the sections that was still in rock dust. Last year, the 18 km segment of the linear park trail between Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts and Mont-Blanc was paved. With the help of a $2.6 million grant awarded to the MRC de La Rivière-du-Nord by the Ministère des Transports et de la Mobilité durable, part of the linear park on its territory will be paved.
