Montebello - Lieu historique national du Manoir Papineau and Petite-Nation

Travel in a comfortable shuttle.

Heritage Nature-Culture Outing


Thanks to our Partnership with Tourisme Outaouais and Parks Canada, La Navette Nature has been invited to discover the westside of Québec's Nature!

In May 1855, Louis-Joseph Papineau, a major figure in Canadian politics, named his property “MonteBello”. In 1878, the town was officially founded. The spirit of the Papineau family can still be felt at the Manor, in the family burial chapel and in the village, where history has been well preserved. 

On these grounds of the vast seigneurial estate of Louis-Joseph Papineau stands an impressive manor surrounded by four towers and an orangery, as well as a grain barn, a family museum, and a vast garden that you can explore at your leisure.

To see at Manoir Papineau :

- Main floor : Step into the intimacy of the Papineau family by visiting the master bedroom, the chic dining room, and the grand yellow salon, rooms in the manor with authentic charm.
- Family museum : Take a look at the portraits and travel mementos of the Papineau family hidden there.
- Grain barn : Stop by this building dating back to 1855 where the lord's grain tributes were stored.

During the afternoon, you'll can enjoy a walk on the main street where the small boutiques, the restaurants and the holiday cottage will charm you.
