Conference on the bridge

Raphaël Boivin-Fournier will give a 30-minute lecture on the first bridge of Île d’Orléans. He will discuss the various islanders who worked on its construction and the bridge’s impact on the development of the island.

Following that, a 30-minute documentary, Le Pont de l’Île d’Orléans, directed by Claude Verret and Yves Simoneau and released in 1978, will be presented. In the film, residents of Île d’Orléans share their stories about this colossal project, completed in 1930 under the Taschereau government.

Refreshments and light snacks will be available on-site.

Places for this event are limited. Reserve your spot for $5.
