In Montebello, halfway between Gatineau and Montreal, a page of 19th-century history unfolds before our eyes. It's impossible to resist the temptation of entering Louis-Joseph Papineau's seigneurial estate. Flanked by four towers, the manor reigns over its grounds, punctuated by a landscaped garden, vast lawns and a wooded area with a stream running through it. Visitors will be delighted by this incursion into the life of the Patriotes' leader. On the menu: a guided tour of the manor house and its period outbuildings. Nostalgia guaranteed.
