Trois Rivières
This city of nearly 50,000 is at the confluence of the St. Lawrence and the three channels of the St. Maurice River. Originally it was a French frontier post and fur-trading centre. Today Trois-Rivierès is one of the largest paper manufacturing centres in the world.
To learn about the local industry visit the Pulp and Paper Industry Exibition Centre. Visit the Forges of St. Maurice National Historic Site and the Museum of Québec Folk Arts and Traditions.
The Ursuline Convent was built in 1697 and has a museum and art collection. The Trois Rivières Cathedral is famous for its stain glass windows. Relax at the riverfront Harbourfront Park. |
