Culture

Trois-Pistoles and its surrounding region offer an environment inspired by the history of the Lower St. Lawrence, with a deep sense of its own culture and heritage. Our community is rich in creativity and well-known for the quality of its artists and artisans, for its ongoing oral tradition, for genealogical research, and for the conservation of an important regional heritage.

Historic walks, heritage buildings and homes, summer theater, libraries, interpretation centers, workshops and studios, art exhibits, popular festivals, events of national and international import such as the Festival de contes et récits de la francophonie – all of this, along with the careful preservation of our historic and religious sites, testifies to the cultural vitality of our region.
