In 1908, a major fire ravaged downtown

Trois-Rivières, but a small team of architects

and businessmen successfully rebuilt it in just

four years. This accounts for its architectural

coherence: streets of uniform three and four-

storey brick buildings with flat roofs and adorned

with cornices and window lintels, all typical of the

eclectic Victorian style of the times.

When you arrive at the park terrace at the end of Rue

des Forges, look at the architecture of this building – it

resembles the bow of an ocean liner. In fact the entire

Harbourfront Park features maritime themes.

> What year appears in Roman numerals on a building at the corner of Notre-Dame Centre and Forges Streets?

> As you admire the building cornices along Rue Notre-Dame, what two family names do you see on the even-numbered side of the street?

> You’ll see a building that houses the offices of a number of federal ministries. What is the name of this building?

On Rue des Casernes is Le Platon, where

Terrasse Turcotte owes its existence to Mayor J.E.

Turcotte, who, in 1857, had a road built in front of his

home at 858 Terrasse Turcotte to offer the citizens of

Trois-Rivières a site where they could stroll and enjoy

the view of the river.

One of the most illustrated citizens of Trois-Rivières was without question Pierre Gaultier de

Varennes, Sieur de Lavérendrye (1685-1749), who went on to discover the Rocky Mountains

in Western Canada.

The house at 669 Rue des Ursulines was built with

stones from a former powder magazine, which in

1704 supplied gunpowder and ammunition.

Turn LEFT on RUE DES URSULINES and head to PLACE PIERRE-BOUCHER

Founded in 1634, Trois-Rivières is the second oldest

French-speaking city in North America.

At 240 Rue Bonaventure lived the Honourable

Maurice L. Duplessis, Member of the Quebec

National Assembly for the Trois-Rivières region

from 1927 to 1959 and Premier of the Province of

Quebec from 1936 to 1939 and from 1944 to 1959.

> What time can you attend mass on Sunday?

> Who was the first historian to publish works on the history of the French Canadians?

Walk to the TROIS-RIVIÈRES CATHEDRAL

Cross the street and head to PARC CHAMPLAIN

At 2,707 metres, the Laviolette Bridge is not only the

longest steel frame bridge in Quebec, it’s also the only

span that crosses the St. Lawrence River between

Quebec City and Montreal. Its name honours the

founder of Trois-Rivières, and its inauguration on

December 20, 1967, brought an end to the age of

ferry boats in Trois- Rivières.
