Hérouxville

This rural municipality of 1,409 inhabitants covers 54 square kilometers in the Mauricie region, surrounded by mountains and bordered by Lac à la Tortue offering recreational opportunities.

Founded on April 13, 1904, following Bishop François-Xavier Cloutier's decision to create Saint-Timothée parish by separating territories from Saint-Tite and Saint-Narcisse parishes in the Trois-Rivières diocese.

The francophone community preserves rural and family traditions centered around Saint-Timothée Church built in 1904, which serves as the spiritual and social heart of the village.

Located at 1160 Saint-Pierre Street with postal code G0X 1J0, the municipality is accessible via Route 153, ten minutes from Grand-Mère and Saint-Tite.

In 2007, this small municipality adopted a controversial code of conduct regarding religious accommodations that sparked a national debate about secularism and religious freedom in Quebec.
