      Description

      The Maison Girardin, interpretation center on the history of Beauport, still has many of its original features. Its gabled walls enclose two enormous stone hearths. Within its thick, whitewashed walls, under its frame worn with time, it still pulses with the life that once echoed within. You'll be swept away by the French colonial atmosphere!
