Pointe-du-Lac

Pointe-du-Lac is an administrative sector in Trois-Rivières stretching along the St. Lawrence River with sandy beaches and residential neighborhoods on the city's northwest side. The waterfront location shapes the character of the area with its natural shoreline and housing zones.

The area began as a seigneury in 1656 when Pierre Boucher granted the land to Étienne Seigneuret and Jean Sauvaget, establishing the foundation for settlement. This early land division set the pattern for how the region would develop and grow over time.

The parish church La Visitation-de-la-Sainte-Vierge rebuilt in 1882 anchors community gatherings and remains a visible center of local life. People continue to recognize it as an important meeting place that reflects the region's faith-based roots.

The administrative office for the sector can be reached through the municipal phone line 311 for local services and information. This single contact number provides access to the support you may need while visiting or conducting business in the area.

The Moulin Seigneurial from 1765 still operates as one of Canada's rare working watermills demonstrating early milling technology. This functioning mill remains a window into how communities powered their grain processing centuries ago.
