“Lost,” a child’s voice whimpered, echoing through the trees of Boisé Val-des-Brises. Now, imagine a different kind of “lost.” Not a child, but a sense of time, lost amidst the rustling leaves and whispering branches of this unique part of Duvernay. Boisé Val-des-Brises isn’t just a wood; it’s a piece of a larger story, woven into the fabric of Laval, within the greater tapestry of Montreal. This “recently constructed” section of Duvernay-Nord, as some describe it, feels ancient, doesn’t it? Boisé Val-des-Brises whispers tales of a time when Duvernay itself was just a fledgling community, part of the parish of Saint-Vincent-de-Paul. That parish, founded way back in 1740, eventually gave birth to both Saint-Vincent-de-Paul and Duvernay. Boisé Val-des-Brises stands as a silent witness to this evolution, its trees rooted in the soil of a rich history. It’s a stark contrast to the bustling urban development surrounding it, a pocket of tranquility amidst the growth. Interestingly, much of Duvernay-Nord, where Boisé Val-des-Brises lies, remains designated agricultural land. Imagine fields of fruits and vegetables stretching out, tended by local farmers, just a stone’s throw from this tranquil wood. So, as you stand here, within the embrace of Boisé Val-des-Brises, remember that you’re not just in a wood. You’re in a living testament to time, a place where the whispers of the past mingle with the rustle of the present.
