About Trois-Rivières
Trois-Rivières, one of Canada's oldest towns, stands on the St Lawrence about halfway between Montreal and Quebec City, with an old quarter by the water.
Founded in 1634, the town takes its name from the islands at the mouth of the Saint-Maurice River, which divide the stream into three channels as it meets the St Lawrence. The old quarter keeps narrow streets, stone houses and a waterfront promenade, and an Ursuline monastery recalls the French colonial period. In the Cap-de-la-Madeleine district, the sanctuary of Notre-Dame-du-Cap has drawn Catholic pilgrims for generations.
