The Builders’ Voices

Presented by

MRC des Chenaux

Meet the pioneers of the MRC des Chenaux. Superb honorary monuments were erected in memory of these great historical figures in each of our ten municipalities. We created a route to provide a most pleasant visit through 350 years of history. We hope that this course and its audio content will charm you while you learn about a piece of our history.

OUR CHARACTERS TELL YOU THEIR STORY

We suggest you use the “Preload” option on your smart device. It will keep you oriented and informed about each suggested point of interest, even without any Internet connection or data.

Suggested departure point : the municipality of Champlain.
