From the comfort of your own home, set out to discover the region’s rich history.
In 2024, the Papineau RCM marked a significant milestone: the 350th anniversary of the granting of the Petite-Nation seigneury. This anniversary provided the perfect opportunity to highlight, through words and images, the history and identity that continue to shape this unique region today.
This desire gave rise to the series “Au fil de l’histoire” (Through the Ages), a collection of 24 captivating short stories written by Marie Josée Bourgeois and Marthe Lemery. Through these tales, we travel back in time: from the arrival of the first French tourists in the Weskarinis to the craftsmanship of our talented “gosseux.” Each episode reveals a unique facet of our heritage and invites you to rediscover the treasures that have shaped the soul of the region.
Immerse yourself in this historical adventure and let yourself be inspired by the wealth of stories that recount, with sensitivity and passion, the region’s evolution.
