Located at the mouth of the legendary Saint-Maurice River, Trois-Rivières is a window on the St. Lawrence River and a place where all roads converge. Now the regional capital, it was once the cradle of exploration, considered in 1634 to be the ideal meeting point.

Halfway between Québec City and Montréal on the main highway, Trois-Rivières is a city whose heritage is a rich blend of history and culture. Known as the poetry capital, it is also the second oldest city in Canada.
