Vieux-Trois-Rivières, Heritage site district in Trois-Rivières, Canada.

This preserved urban area contains stone buildings along cobblestone streets, with architectural features dating from the 17th and 18th centuries.

Established in 1634, Trois-Rivières grew from a fur trading post into a significant settlement, surviving three major fires including those of 1752 and 1908.

Twelve Catholic parishes and the Cathedral of the Assumption form the religious core of this district, reflecting French-Canadian heritage through their architecture.

The district provides guided walking tours, parking facilities, and connections to public transportation for exploring historical landmarks and local businesses.

The Forges du Saint-Maurice, located near the district, represents North America's first ironworks and maintains its original industrial structures.
