Former Amerindian camp site with history museum, archaeological site and the oldest chapel in Montreal.
This former Native encampment is now home to a history museum, an archaeological site (not to be missed) and the Chapelle Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Secours (Montreal's oldest). It was around this chapel that the city's first suburb grew up. The museum is dedicated to Marguerite Bourgeoys, an exceptional woman who played a major role in the colony in the 17th century. The chapel tower offers the highest view of Old Montreal.

La chapelle aux bateaux
J'ai découvert la chapelle durant une visite guidée à pied, organisée par des comédiens, un soir d'Halloween. Des maquettes de bateaux sont suspendues au plafond de la chapelle, car elle est dédiée aux marins. La sépulture de Marguerite-Bourgeois est au fond de la chapelle.

Accessible museum in which one can discover, thanks to a audioguidée visit, life of Marguerite Bourgeoys, nun of the 17th century which worked with the education of the small Amerindians and children of colonists. The three rooms, which are devoted to him, are particularly well arranged: the key periods of the life of this woman, for example, are reconstituted starting from about fifty small windows which all, contain carefully made figurines and accessories. Lastly, while going at the top of the chapel Notre-Dame-de-Bonsecours (access included in the admission ticket for the museum), one has a magnificent view on part of Montreal and his port.

J'avoue, je fais partie de ceux qui sont souvent passés devant sans s'y arrêter et pourtant elle est superbe !

Musée à visiter, peu connu mais il vaut la peine à visiter. J'ai particulièrement aimé visiter les dessous de la Chapelle, où l'on voit les fondations de la première chapelle de Montréal.
Superb including place, visit if you are passing through Montreal. Do not miss their small museum, it is brilliant! Not expensive, professional and friendly guides, it is a small jewel hidden this museum and this chapel!
