Site de la Nouvelle-France

The Site de la Nouvelle-France offers visitors a unique experience of delving into the daily life of the 17th century colony of Quebec. The site presents an authentic reconstruction of life in Upper Town and Lower Town with its chapel and its church, its Fort Saint-Louis, its inn, its houses and its waterfront. Thirteen new period buildings originally created for the Barskins television series have been added in 2024 enhancing the authenticity.

Fun encounters with colorful costumed characters and a visit to the Huron Longhouse add to the unique and memorable cultural experience.
