Lonely Planet review

The Sir George Étienne-Cartier National Historic Site consists of two historic houses owned by the Cartier family. Staff in period costume run guided tours throughout the day and hold dramatic presentations on etiquette and a servant's life. In season the program includes a Victorian Christmas.

One residence explains the life of Sir George-Étienne, one of the founders of the Canadian Confederation and the changes that society saw in his lifetime. The other house is a faithful reconstruction of his home during the Victorian era.
