The exhibition “Des Voyageurs aux Légendes”, by artist Christian Paquette, features more than 20 works of art covering the
voyageurs’ universe and adventures as its main theme.
Nature figures prominently in the exhibition and bears witness to the courage of the men who helped settle our beautiful region. The works are presented both traditionally and integrated in period reproductions.
The exhibition also touches on a few major Quebec legends, putting the legacy of generations of our raconteurs into images.
