SAINTE-MAGUERITE ISLAND: Plunge into history at Fort Royal!

Built by Richelieu, the Fort Royal is a historic monument that watches over the comings and goings of the boats.

A real jewel of a site, its fame results from having become a State prison and housing the mysterious Man in the Iron Mask, whose identity remains a mystery as of this day.

Now converted into a maritime museum, the building houses a collection of underwater archaeological objects and offers you the chance to visit the old cells.

There are stories to be discovered, which will enchant both young and old!
