Local history and culture Canada

This faithful recreation of a ^19th-century Quebec village features over 70 original buildings and 10,000 antique objects. During the summer, the village comes alive, so that you'll feel as if you've stepped back in time between 1810 and 1930. Villagers immerse themselves in the daily lives of their ancestors, practicing traditional trades, playing music and explaining the customs of bygone days. The site features numerous activities, including a major new feature in phase 1: technologies created by the renowned Moment Factory are integrated into the village's houses and buildings, not to mention the augmented reality playground.

In October, the village takes on a spooky air for the Halloween special. Dozens of actors bring your worst nightmares to life in the evening, while family activities are held during the day. In December and early January, the site is illuminated with thousands of lights and a host of traditional holiday activities await you. In spring, the sugar shack heralds the return of the warm weather, and it's the perfect opportunity to sweeten up.

In summer, it's also possible to bring your own lunch, as the Village provides picnic areas at various locations on the site, as well as year-round catering services. A must-see attraction in Centre-du-Québec! Reservations recommended, whatever the season.

Ecotourism site managed by the Cree community. Accommodation is provided in cottages or traditional Cree homes for a unique experience and immersion in the cultural environment of this nation. In summer, it is possible to practice canoeing and other water activities as well as hiking. Winter is followed by snowshoeing, ice fishing, trapping/trapping and traditional crafts. Cree cuisine is also on the program and several other activities can be organized on request.

A true rendezvous with the lumberjacks awaits you here! Your guides, who are all musicians and storytellers, will transport you back to the era of the forest industry that helped develop the region. The way of life in the early days of colonization, the transportation of wood by float and the processing of this raw material are all subjects covered. La Cookerie, a folkloric bistro with terrace, showcases regional products (with musical performances on Thursday and Saturday evenings).
