To discover, see and do...

The Manoir Papineau National Historic Site of Canada commemorates Louis-Joseph Papineau by showcasing his manor house, which reflects his social ambitions, tastes and personality. Together, the architecture of the manor house and outbuildings and the landscaping of the site evoke beauty and refinement. Stroll the seigneurial lane across the shaded grounds to the chapel housing the remains of the many members of the Papineau family. Then continue on to the manor house designed by Louis-Joseph Papineau himself. From there, discover the old family museum and the grain shed topped by a pigeon house. Feel the pride of the seigneur of La Petite-Nation as you admire the outbuildings and domain that he designed. Walk down memory lane among the hundred-year-old oak and pine trees.
