It was formely known as île Sainte-Geneviève. The owner, Leslie Rose Dowker, now deceased, built a house that has since been destroyed by fire.

  • This uninhabited Island is administratively part of Ile Perrot.
  • Bird sanctuary. You can walk over to it, most winters.
  • Wouldn't try it now with our present warmer winters...
