To meet growing demand, there are two free parking areas capable of handling more
than 350 bicycles. On-site staff will be pleased to answer your questions,
and a flat-tire repair kit complete with pump is also available. Cyclists using
these parking areas must provide their own locks.
The bicycle parking areas are conveniently located on the periphery of the FrancoFolies
site:
- De Bleury Street, corner of De Maisonneuve Boulevard
- St. Laurent Boulevard, corner of De Maisonneuve Boulevard
Bicycle parking areas are clearly identified on the map
of the site using the following pictogram
The bicycle parking areas also include a pigeon-hole storage bin for skateboards.
Persons who use this service will be asked to fill out a form and provide proof
of identity (a valid driver’s licence or health insurance card).
The bicycle parking areas are open from 5 p.m. to midnight for the duration of the
FrancoFolies.
The festival will not be held responsible for lost, stolen or damaged objects.
This service is offered thanks to the collaboration of Desjardins.

Given the popularity of the FrancoFolies de Montréal, public transit is the means
of transportation most recommended. Located on the green line, the Place-des-Arts
metro station provides direct access to the site. People arriving by metro are encouraged
to use the Ste. Catherine Street or De Bleury Street exits.
Festival-goers arriving from the west on foot may access the site from Jeanne-Mance
Street at the corner of Ste. Catherine Street. Due to road work in progress on Ste.
Catherine Street and St. Laurent Boulevard, people arriving from the east are encouraged
to use the new entrance at the corner of De Montigny Street and St. Laurent Boulevard.
The Place des Festivals includes the the FrancoFolies de Montréal's main stage.
Special security corridors have been set up to make it easier for festival-goers
to leave the site, but not to access it. These "one-way" corridors provide access
to the Place-des-Arts metro station and to Ste. Catherine Street and De Bleury Street.
Loitering is prohibited in these corridors.
To enjoy the festival to the fullest, we ask that people comply with the
regulations in force on the site.
Mobility-impaired persons may consult the adapted services
section for details on reserving a space in the reserved area.
