Église Saint-Léon-de-Westmount is a Roman Catholic church on boulevard De Maisonneuve Ouest, in the upscale borough of Westmount, Montreal, Québec. It serves the local francophone Catholic community, and visitors who come to see it will find a working parish rather than a museum piece.
What to expect
The church is known for its architecture, and a visit is mainly an opportunity to look at the building closely and take in its setting on one of Westmount's main streets. Because it is an active place of worship, it is best approached quietly and with respect for those attending services or praying.
Getting there and around
- Address: 4311 boulevard De Maisonneuve Ouest, Westmount, Québec, H3Z 1L1

Plan a short visit if you want to see the church itself, and combine it with a stroll through Westmount if you want a calmer look at one of Montreal's more affluent districts. Check ahead for service times if you wish to visit during a quiet moment in the day.
