Girardin House
About This Museum
I stumbled upon this place almost by accident, tucked away on Avenue Royale. It's a beautifully preserved house that feels like you've stepped right into the 18th century. You can practically hear the floorboards whispering stories of the families who lived here for generations. It’s not a stuffy museum at all, but more like a warm, welcoming home where the past feels incredibly close.
Collection Highlights
The kitchen is the heart of it, with its massive hearth and all the copper pots and tools they would have used. Upstairs, the bedrooms are furnished just as they were, complete with personal items and clothing that make you wonder about their daily lives.
Visitor Information
It's in a really charming part of Old Quebec, so it's easy to weave into a day of exploring. Just check their website for opening times before you go, as they can be seasonal.
Architecture & Building
It's a classic example of French-Canadian rural architecture, with its steeply pitched roof and sturdy stone walls that were built to last.
