Presentation

Created in 1990 following the shooting of two film productions (Robe Noire, 1990 and Shehaweh, 1992), the Site de la Nouvelle-France recreates daily life in the colony of Quebec in the 17th century. More recently, the outdoor winter scenes for the documentary Champlain’s Dream were filmed here. The site was finally opened to the general public in 1993. Since then, it has welcomed several thousand visitors every year.
