parc maritime de saint-laurent

This is small park but it contains some interesting items. The exhibits themselves focus on the wooden boat building trade that was common here many years a go. Some artifacts of the industry can still be seen here. There is a nice view of the St. Lawrence at this spot. A good place to learn some local history.

Hello, We are sorry that no bilingual guided tour was available the day you came by. We normally offer tours in both English and French with a knowledgeable guide.

Although it appears small when you drive up to this park, it offers a BIG experience if you take advantage of all it has to offer. Other reviewers have told it well. Be sure to take advantage of the I-pad they will give you to carry along as you walk through the park. Read all of the HUMAN stories that are loaded on the I-pad, and you will get a true feel of the industry and times. The Forest of Rails exhibit (that you might almost not notice) is WELL WORTH exploring....the sails are beautiful as are the words of folks who lived the life that are posted on the trees in this exhibit!This is a definite must see during your time on the island!

Once one of the major shipbuilding locations on the St. Lawrence, this park has a number of indoor and outdoor exhibits which bring Ile d'Orleans' maritime history to life. A beautiful view of the river, with a jetty and picnic areas from which to enjoy it. A great place for kids to explore, and stretch their legs.

This park has several vintage boats and a lot of history about Orleans Island's boat building industry. Several buildings are located on the site and have tools and other items which were used in the building of the various watercraft. One can walk throughout the area and get an idea of just how large this industry once was.

Un beau moment de détente avec beaucoup d'information historique sur la fabrication des chaloupes et l'entreposage des goélettes pour l'hiver. Le guide est bon communicateur et aime certainement ce qu'il fait. Un petit $5 bien utilisé. On peut se promener ensuite sur la rive et sous les arbres pour pique-niquer. Je recommande

Très belle expérience dans le temps. Le guide était passionné et arrivait à mettre de l'intérêt à l'écoute de ce qu'il disait. Il nous posait des questions et se permettaient même de faire de l'humour. Nous en sommes ressortis vraiment instruits de cette période de la chalouperie...PS Jérôme, nous t'accordons A+...

Petit parc sympathique avec un personnel attentionné, belle exposition avec des œuvres d'artistes locaux de l'ile d'Orléans, très joli

L'entree est tres modique en prix. Le personnel est tres charmant. La vue du fleuve est tres belle. Une activitee de bon gout. Ou le passe est present!! Oui il a exposition d'outils de construction, certains plus vieux de un ciecle. Ou l'on peu prendre de belles photos de vaisseau marin. Nous avons bien aime la simplicite mais la qualite de conservation des lieux.
