Les Buissonnets

Les Buissonnets is a family residence with four bedrooms, a dining room featuring oak-paneled walls, and grounds with gardens surrounding the structure. The house preserves its period furnishings and layout that reflect how the household functioned during the late 19th century.

The Martin family established their household here in 1877, making it a center for family life and raising their children. This residence became significant because of the religious devotion that developed within its walls during the coming decades.

The rooms contain personal belongings and furnishings that reflect the daily rhythm of the Martin household and how the family shaped Therese's spiritual path. These spaces offer insight into her relationships and the environment that nurtured her devotion.

Visitors can walk through the rooms at their own pace or join guided tours to learn more about the spaces and family life. The house is open daily, and most visits take between one and two hours depending on how thoroughly you want to explore.

The kitchen fireplace holds special significance as the location of a pivotal personal moment that shaped the spiritual direction of the young resident. This detail reveals how ordinary spaces in the home became touchstones for deeper meaning.
