Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Village
Village québécois d'antan
Le Village québécois d’antan recreates a village of the past with houses, a school, a church, workshops and costumed characters. Scenes of everyday life bring the visit alive: the smell of wood, traditional crafts, modest interiors and conversations offer a vivid picture of rural Quebec in the 19th century.
Place indismissible
Maison des arts Desjardins Drummondville
The Maison des arts Desjardins is the main cultural event for Drummondville, with theatre, humor, music and family shows. Its interest depends on the programming of the moment, but it gives the stay a well-rooted evening option in local life rather than a simple exit from the passage.
Place indismissible
Parc Woodyatt
Woodyatt Park borders the Saint-François River in the heart of Drummondville, with large lawns, mature trees and views of the water. It is a simple and useful place between two visits, appreciated to walk, picnic or join the events that often animate the city center.
Museum
Musée national de la photographie Desjardins
The Musée national de la photographie Desjardins The collections are intended for the curious images, ancient devices and techniques that have changed our way of looking at the world. The collections are moving from the darkroom to the more recent uses, with a concrete angle on objects as well as on photographs.
