The fascinating history of our Maison de Laval
Matcha & Niacinamide
Hello 😊
Some houses have an extraordinary story to tell. The Maison Papineau-Cléroux in Laval is one of them.
It welcomed generations of Quebecers. People used to come here to get their provisions at the general store, stop by while traveling, catch up on news, and meet one another.
This house was also home to André-Benjamin Papineau, a notary, mayor of Saint-Martin, and cousin of Louis-Joseph Papineau, the famous leader of the Patriotes. Himself involved in the Rebellions of 1837, he played a part in a defining chapter of our history. It is said that secret meetings were held here. A fascinating story that takes us to the heart of our Quebec heritage.
It has lived through the ages, known many lives, many families, and major transformations.
I wanted to hear its entire story, which is also the story of a people, alongside architect Luc Allard.
Because by opening this Maison, we are not just opening a general store. We are helping to preserve a piece of our Quebec heritage. 🤎
