On the north shore of the Saint Lawrence River, in the Mauricie region, the municipality of Champlain is recognized as one of the most beautiful villages in Quebec. With its rich history and heritage buildings, it is a must-visit picturesque destination near Trois-Rivières.
During his exploratory voyage to America in 1634, Samuel de Champlain gave his name to the river that crosses the eastern part of this village core. From the earliest attempts at colonization, the region withstood the Iroquois threat.
Over the centuries, the municipality of Champlain became a sought-after place to live and vacation. Today, its 200 heritage buildings, including the impressive Église de Champlain church, classified as a historic monument, stand as a testament to its glorious past. Come and experience a royal change of scenery!
