Boréalis, Centre d'histoire de l'industrie papetière

Open year round starting Setember, 2010

The History of an Industry, the Heart of a Region

A new tourist attraction in Mauricie, BORÉALIS offers you an experience through outstanding interactive exhibitions. A unique path amongst the vestiges of a great industry is what the BORÉALIS adventure is all about!

Inside a unique setting located at the confluence of the Saint-Maurice and the St. Lawrence Rivers, this centre of paper industry history invites you to discover family and group activities based on the themes of the Saint-Maurice River, the forest, log driving, lumberjacks, the development of the working-class life and the great paper industry.

BORÉALIS will allow you to smell the scent of paper, feel the warmth of the machine, see the importance of an industry and, if you feel so, make your own paper with the various activities offered. You will be able to visit the underground vaults; these dark galleries will even give the chills to the most daring. A unique experience in Canada just within your reach!

BORÉALIS also gives you access to a spectacular vista on the magnificent terrace which gives you a bird's-eye view on the Saint-Maurice River. This is the perfect place to enjoy a nice coffee, take in the warm sunrays and admire the landscape. You will end your visit by crossing the observation tower which will offer a unique artistic installation, an unforgettable experience for the senses.
