The Michel flour mill, built at the Gentilly seigniorial
estate in about 1774, is a French-style fieldstone
structure, fully restored in 1989. It works by means of
a water-driven turbine that is still in operation today.
The permanent exhibition will introduce you to the last
miller who lived here, Alfred Michel. On the terrace,
you can savour freshly milled and baked buckwheat
cakes and microbrewery beer, every Saturday and
Sunday in good weather. The mill, in its peaceful
countryside setting halfway between Montreal and
Quebec City, is a perfect place for a stop. You’ll enjoy

Musée du bronze d'Inverness
Interpretation site - Art / History and society
Tourist region: Centre-du-Québec
To discover, see and do...
The bronze museum is a vibrant site where today’s
artists can display their work. The museum takes
a unique approach to displaying its collections, as
visitors don gloves and are allowed to handle the
pieces all they like. It’s a tactile introduction to the
world of bronze sculpture.
A demonstration of bronze casting is also offered,
weather permitting. Works from the museum’s own
collection, produced at the museum or in local
foundries, are displayed permanently. Other works,
on consignment, can also be admired in temporary
exhibitions. In the lobby, visitors see an evocation of
the past and present of bronze sculpture, through a
tribute to the best-known local sculptors: pieces by
Alfred Laliberté, graciously loaned by the Musée du
Québec, are some of the museum’s prized exhibits.
The gift shop carries a selection of items and
quality reproductions so that you can take home an
unforgettable souvenir of your visit!
