Lieu historique national du Manoir-Papineau — Attraction in Montebello

A wonderful National Historic Site and well worth a visit. The Manor can only be visited through a guided tour, which I highly recommend. The 45-minute tour gives fascinating insights into the Papineau family, their bourgeois lifestyle in the 1800s and 1900s, and the history of the region. About 80% of the artifacts and furnishings are original, which makes the experience even more impressive. Beyond the Manor itself, there’s also a trail nearby that leads to the Fairmont Hotel or Montebello Village, perfect for extending your visit. Overall, a memorable experience and a must-see if you’re...

Very beautiful walk in the mature treed park, the main house is a wonderful example of classic Georgian architecture style. Very elegant! Great spot for having a romantic photo session. Also, the close proximity to Ottawa River and luxurious Chalet Fairmont Resort; all these marvelous places are in walking distance....

The chapel and other floors of the manor were closed which really didn't leave much left to see. You can easily be in and out in an hour or so which left us a little bitter.

Otherwise our tour guide was great and quite...
