Guided tours at the Village du bûcheron are like shows where storytelling and song transport visitors to the world of Quebec lumberjacks of yesteryear. All guides are musicians and storytellers; they will take you on a journey through the history of this corner of the country by making you discover songs and legends from our region.
To visit the Village du bûcheron is to discover how the Mauricie and all of Quebec have developed through the forest industry. It is also an opportunity to see how men lived in the forest at the beginning of colonization, how wood was transported by floating on the river and also how the raw material was transformed in towns and villages.
The loggers of yesteryear left Trois-Rivières and the surrounding villages in the fall to go and log all winter in the woods. They went up along the river on foot to the Grandes-Piles. It was from there that the navigation was easier and that we could take the boat to go to work higher up. The first boats that sailed the river were flat-bottomed barges pulled by rope by horses on the bank. However, it was easier to go up the river once it was frozen. The majority of the woodsmen waited until December to go up to the site by walking directly on the river and they came down again in March before the ice melted.
We invite you to come and discover the great epic of the wooden guys who built the country with their arms and their hands in extreme living conditions. Relive the history of the characters who founded the country, such as Father Jacques Buteux, the region's first missionary and martyr, or Jean J. Crête, a great logging entrepreneur who was nicknamed the King of Mauritius, or even Pitou Veillette who operated a lumber camp and raised his entire family in the woods.
We give you an appointment with the history of Quebec lumberjacks!
