Lonely Planet review

This interpretive center touts the area as the cradle of French history. The exhibits focus on the individual people, houses and challenges of setting up on the shores of the St Lawrence River. It goes a bit heavy on the random artifact displays (just how many displays of uncaptioned broken cups and saucers does one visitor need to see at a time?) but otherwise there are slick, worthwhile displays.

Children can dress up in costumes on the bottom floor and tours of the Lower Town are offered by guides in period dress during summer.
