                                      The Île-des-Moulins historic site is located in Vieux-Terrebonne. The parking lot is located near the Théâtre du Vieux-Terrebonne, with 4 reserved spaces. The site offers tours of the various historic buildings, as well as a trail along the water. Guides are always on hand to accompany visitors to the various buildings. In a few places, the ground surface is uneven and not straight. Many buildings and access ramps have a threshold of between 2 and 4 cm. There is only one accessible table on the trail, and it's on the water's edge, near the Aimé-Despatie dam.
