Guided tour followed by a discovery of the Cap-Rouge Public Point of Sale in 2026. Be among the first to discover this History & Tasting tour. In 2026, we’re leaving this experience at the same Award.
We show you the Cartier-Roberval site, recognized by the Quebec Ministry of Culture as a heritage and archaeological site. This part of the tour is aimed at families as well as history and archaeology enthusiasts.
If walking in the forest on a sloping site is a challenge for you, it is possible to start the tour directly at the Cartier-Roberval site on chemin Saint-Louis west of Quebec City. An asphalt trail is usable by people with reduced mobility but it ends in a staircase not suitable for four-carriers & wheelchairs.
Our team participated in historical conferences and presentations in 2024 - 25 - 26 on research on Cartier, Roberval and archaeology. We are also based on a book by B. Come on.
