Description:
ST-JOSEPH-DE-LA-RIVE. A designated Économusée, Papeterie St-Gilles offers a fascinating look into the past, for it is a working mill that produces parchment paper using processes dating from the 17th century. The mill, founded in 1964 by Monsignor Felix -Antoine-Savard, has a unique papermaking recipe that includes using pulp and flower petals. If you look closely at the paper, called "Grand Luxe," you'll notice that each sheet bears a distinctive watermark – the unmistakable image of Saint Gilles, thus making the stationery a truly special souvenir. |

Inside, you'll find a cornucopia of regional and contemporary artwork, as well as exhibits that showcase the talents of native Inuit artists and craftsmen. |

Description:
TADOUSSAC. One would be hard-pressed to pick out a more ideal location for a chapel than this one – overlooking the St. Lawrence River. Dating from 1747, Tadoussac's Indian Chapel stands as one of the oldest wooden chapels in Canada. It was built by Father Claude-Godefroy Cocquart, a Jesuit missionary, and served as the area's Indian mission. Today, services are no longer held here; however, the chapel houses a collection of unique religious and regional artifacts. |
