Lonely Planet review for Centre D’interpretation de Place-Royale
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 (though pottery shards do have their charm), but also has some worthwhile displays that help illuminate what life was like from the 1600s to the 20th century. 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.
