Trois-Rivières
-
Sieur de Laviolette founded this community in 1634, but the beautiful French Regime architecture that once graced the streets was ravaged by a monstrous fire that swept through the entire town in 1908. Only remnants of the original wall survive. Today the town is known as one of the main providers of pulp and paper in the world. Dominating the landscape is the Monastère des Ursulines, a lovely church built by Ursuline nuns, surrounded by a public park. Cafés, bistros and restaurants abound on rue des Forges.
