'''Lorraine''' ({{IPA|fr|lɔʁɛn|-|LL-Q150 (fra)-Benoît Prieur-Lorraine.wav}}) is an affluent [[off-island suburb]] of [[Montreal]], in southwestern [[Quebec]], Canada on the [[North Shore (Laval)|north shore]] of the [[Rivière des Mille-Îles]] in the [[Thérèse-De Blainville Regional County Municipality]]. There are no industries and only a very limited commercial district (comprising one medical centercentre, one shopping mall, a golf course, a gym, a supermarket and arena); almost all houses are of the detached type. Furthermore, a large portion of the town territory is set aside as wild forest (Forêt du Grand Côteau); some [[bicycle|bike]]/[[ski]] trails run through it. The town is divided into two areas, Uptown and Downtown (or ''Lorraine en haut'' and ''Lorraine en bas'', colloquially, because the northern area is on higher ground). These two areas are also delimited by Quebec freeway [[Autoroute (Quebec)#Autoroute 640|A-640]], and are only joined together by the main street (Boulevard de Gaulle) overpass.
 
Lorraine has earned a reputation for high-end homes with pristine lawns. Due to the heat and humidity of summers in the region, many of these properties have in ground swimming pools in backyards. The town prides itself with completely underground utility networks apart from a small older section of the town (Avenue Fraser, Mey and Bruyeres in particular). The absence of telephone and electric poles contributes to the aesthetic appeal of the municipality.
