À moins d’être vraiment un passionné d’histoire, ce musée ne vaut pas le détour et est cher pour la prestation proposée.
La 3e étoile est pour le sourire de la réceptionniste
L'histoire de cette prestigieuse demeure commence le jour de sa construction pour Claude de Ramezay, alors gouverneur de Montréal, en 1705.
Aujourd'hui, le Château Ramezay est un musée et un lieu historique national.
On y découvre comment les influences amérindiennes, françaises, britanniques et américaines ont façonné la vie des Montréalais.
Après la visite de l'intérieur, promenez-vous dans le Jardin du Gouverneur. Vous y découvrirez un verger, un jardin d'agrément et un potager rappelant un jardin urbain du 18e siècle en Nouvelle-France.
Merci à tous ceux qui préservent l'art et partagent les sites d'histoire, et aux propriétaires du Château Ramezay
