Tales from the shadow guided tour

Manoir Papineau National Historic Site

As night falls, visit the manor from a different angle.

As soon as you arrive at the parking lot, a guide will hand you a lantern before inviting you on a mysterious walk down the seigneurial alley. Once inside the mansion, the estate's friendly gardener will take you through the various rooms on the main floor. Mystery and fun guaranteed!

A male Parks Canada guide dressed as a gardener holds a lantern and talks to visitors on the outdoor balcony of Papineau Manor at dusk.
