|
The open-air Cartier-Brébeuf Museum stands on the banks of the St-Charles River in the city's Limoilou district, an evocative monument to events in the very early history of colonial New France. It was here, on his second voyage to Canada, that Jacques Cartier and his men passed the winter of 1535/36 aboard their ship "La Grande Hermine". There is a reconstruction of the vessel which can be visited.
