Saint-Paul-de-l’Île-aux-Noix
Saint-Paul-de-l’Île-aux-Noix owes its name to the first inhabitant who had to give a bag of nuts to the Noyan lord each year. This is how the village receives its name!
In Saint-Paul-de-l’Île-aux-Noix, you will be charmed by the Blockhaus de la rivière Lacolle, the only building of this kind in Quebec that kept its original structure and in which you can still see the holes left by musket bullets. You will have more information about this building at the interpretation centre. Above all, don’t forget to visit the Fort Lennox National Historic Site of Canada, one of the most authentic British fortifications dating back to the 19th century. Guided visits are conducted every day so don’t hesitate to discover this charming historic site.
