Louis S St-Laurent Heritage House

Louis St-Laurent (1882-1973) was Canada's prime minister from 1948 to 1957. He spent most of his life in Québec City at this address and the house is 'alive' with his life story. Literally. Each room is hooked up to motion detectors - just walk in and prepare to have family photos start talking to you or phones ring with urgent messages for you to pass on to Mr Laurent. It's all brilliantly done; interactive history at its best.

Fluently bilingual due to his Irish mother and Québécois father, he was one of Canada's most distinguished leaders. Under his watch, Newfoundland joined Canada as its 10th province and important social benefits were established for all Canadians.
