River Sentinels
Presented in the Keeper's house, the River Sentinels exhibition guides you through the captivating world of the lighthouse keepers and the pilots of the St. Lawrence, at the time when the pilot station was based in Pointe-au-Père.
Through stories, artefacts, models and personal testimonies, the exhibition takes you into the daily lives of these unsung heroes, responsible for keeping sailors and ships safe on the river.

Take a look through La fenêtre des possibles, an intimate section of the exhibition that invites you to discover the seasonal humours of the river, its stories and, above all, its language. The lighthouse keepers and river pilots knew this language well: it guided their daily lives and their decisions. Today, this communion with the river is at your fingertips.
A river that has a lot to tell!
