Coulée Grou, National historic site and battlefield in Rivière-des-Prairies–Pointe-aux-Trembles, Canada.
The site extends over rolling terrain near Gouin Boulevard East, approximately 60 meters from a creek, with geographical features remaining unchanged since colonial times.
During the French-Iroquois wars in 1690, Lieutenant de Colombet led 25 French settlers against 100 Iroquois warriors, resulting in numerous casualties on both sides.
The Historic Sites and Monuments Board placed a bilingual monument detailing the battle events and commemorating the French settlers who defended the territory.
Visitors can locate the commemorative monument at 13470 Gouin Boulevard East in Montreal, using GPS coordinates for precise navigation to the site.
Jean Grou, the original landowner after whom the site is named, was captured during the battle and met a tragic end along with three farm workers.
