This small town, Plaine-du-Nord, with 37,000 residents, is best known for the feast of Saint-Jacques, which is often celebrated with fanfare on July 24 of each year. To commemorate this patronal feast, tens of thousands of tourists travel there from around the globe. With its potential and its decadence that started some time ago, Plaine-du-Nord and the picture displayed in the eyes of visitors can be interpreted in a different way. The town’s entrance is located near Morne Rouge and begins at National Road #1.
