Created in 1665, the historical district of Trait-Carré is one of the most precious jewels in the trove of our regional heritage. Trait-Carré owes its uniqueness to its original urban layout, history and numerous architectural styles. The Jesuit priests who owned the land decided to arrange the lots in the form of a star converging at a central point with a view to protecting the colonists living there. If you take the walking tour of Trait-Carré, you will see the district's peculiar urban layout and the French and Québec architecture prevalent in rural areas from the 17th to the 19th centuries. The walking tour will take you to ten historical interpretation areas and more than twenty selected sites. You can do the tour on your own by using the map/brochure or take the group tour (reservations required). New GPS adventure for visitors of all ages. Departures from the Jesuit Mill. Packages available. Reservations required.
