Cartier-Brébeuf National Historic Site, Heritage site and interpretation center in Limoilou, Canada.
Located at the meeting point of Saint-Charles and Lairet rivers, this 6.8-hectare park features commemorative monuments and educational exhibits about early Canadian history.
Explorer Jacques Cartier and his crew established a winter settlement at this location in 1535, where they built a fort near the Iroquoian village of Stadacona.
The site highlights the crucial interactions between European settlers and Indigenous peoples, including the sharing of medicinal knowledge that saved Cartier's crew from scurvy.
The interpretation center operates from June to August, offering guided tours, educational programs, and outdoor activities such as biking and walking trails.
Archaeological excavations at this location have uncovered numerous artifacts from New France, documenting both Cartier's expedition and the first Jesuit mission of 1625.
