Maison Lamontagne
A mid-18th-century house with stone-infilled timber framing, one of the oldest surviving houses in eastern Quebec.
Maison Lamontagne was built around 1744–1750 using stone-infilled timber framing brought from Normandy, France. The technique is very rare in North America, and the house is designated a Canadian National Historic Site. Inside, the house displays building techniques from the New France period and the daily life of early settlers. A garden and riverside trail surround it. It is typically open from about June to September, and admission is low. Located in eastern Rimouski about 5 km from downtown, it can be easily combined with the Pointe-au-Père site.
