Discover Valcartier

Over two hundred years ago, the Honourable John Neilson, Quebec businessman and well known politician, bought vast tracts of land in the Jacques Cartier River valley. In January 1816, he published an invitation for settlers to establish what would become Valcartier Village.

Now, John Neilson is back, curious to see what happened to his little idea. During your visit in his company, he will invite you to linger a while in a few sites of his choosing; through period pictures and stories, each site will give him an opportunity to share his reflections on the adventure of this very unique village.

We still share the same hopes. And the story goes on.
