La Pulperie de Chicoutimi

Tourism Region: Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean

More than a museum La Pulperie de Chicoutimi is a vast interactive cultural and tourism centre dedicated to preserving and promoting the Saguenay - Lac-Saint-Jean's patrimony and to the furthering of arts and history. La Pulperie is an exceptional historical site located in the midst of the city, surrounded by a huge park, and lodged within the old mill of the Compagnie de pulpe de Chicoutimi. It features the history of the Compagnie de pulpe de Chicoutimi and highlights the significant part this company played in the development of the city and the region at the beginning of the last century.

Since summer 2002, following major renovations, La Pulperie de Chicoutimi opens its doors to the public and offers artistic and ethnologic displays on the history of the locals inhabitants, a brand new regional museum, an educative and cultural activity programme as well as a renovated interpretive tour. As you stroll on the walking paths and interpretive trails, walk through the historical labyrinth or visit the museum and displays, you will understand why this site has become one of the major features of the regional tourism industry. As you visit our museum you will understand why La Pulperie de Chicoutimi is "A museum unlike any other"!
