Grosse Île and the Irish Memorial National Historic Site
Interpretation site - History and society
Tourist region: Chaudière-Appalaches
To discover, see and do...
Grosse-Île was the main Canadian quarantine station
from 1832 to 1937, a barrier against contagious
diseases thanks to its strategic location in the middle
of the St. Lawrence River. Over the years, tens of
thousands of immigrants were held here after crossing
the Atlantic. In 1847, the island was the scene of a
terrible tragedy as over 5,000 immigrants, mainly from
Ireland, died of typhus. A visit to Grosse-Île allows
you to follow in the footsteps of these immigrants and
discover the many facets of a quarantine station and
how it operated.

Maison Alphonse-Desjardins
Museum - History and society
Tourist region: Chaudière-Appalaches
To discover, see and do...
The cosy home of Alphonse and Dorimène Desjardins
hides a secret. Restored to look as it did in 1906,
this charming Gothic Revival house was built around
1883 for Alphonse Desjardins, founder of Quebec’s
caisses populaires, or credit unions. It was here that
Desjardins developed his great co-operative concept
and that the Lévis credit union started operating
in 1901. So this is the cradle of the credit union
movement in North America! After touring the house,
visit the permanent exhibition featuring an extensive
collection of photographs and artifacts recalling this
visionary’s great pioneering venture.

de Beauce, less than 20 minutes from the Quebec
City bridges via Highway 73 South. Accompanied by
a guide, you’ll learn how a family of humble origins

you back to the days when Rose-Anna prepared her
"croquignoles" (goodies) on the wood stove. You can
see the first cookbook, the very one that was used to
record the original cupcake recipes. Learn how RoseAnna kept the accounts and what it cost at the time
to run their small business. The visit is completed
by a video on the history of Vachon cakes and the
factory manufacturing process. Not to mention that
each visitor also receives two cakes!

At the very site where the events of the novels Les
anciens Canadiens and Mémoires by Philippe Aubert
de Gaspé took place, the Corporation Philippe-Aubertde-Gaspé rebuilt the seigniorial manor in Saint-JeanPort-Joli and created the Musée de la mémoire vivante
(Museum of Living Memories).
The museum is dedicated to the intangible heritage
formed of life stories and other accounts. Its thematic
exhibitions introduce visitors to others’ stories and are
invited to record their own. Inspired by the author’s
work collecting his contemporaries’ life stories, the
museum’s goal is to record, safeguard and share
the different stories gathered, all from an ethnological
perspective.

The Seigneurie des Aulnaies is the most complete
interpretation centre focusing on the seigneurial
regime in Quebec. The huge heritage property was
owned by Seigneur Juchereau starting in 1656. You
can explore its Victorian manor (1853) designed by
architect Charles Baillargé, and go on guided tours led
by staff in period costumes. They’ll be happy to show
you around the mill (1842), powered by the largest
bucket wheel in Québec, and explain how it works.
You can even buy organic stone-ground flour made
right here at the mill.
Around the pine grove and the pond, you can stroll
along more than 2 km of walking paths, with picnic
areas and lookouts over the peaceful Ferrée River.
The ornamental gardens, rose garden, tree stands
and fruit plantations have been recreated in keeping
with the wonderful gardening heritage of Saint-Rochdes-Aulnaies.
