This was a cool place to visit. There were not many people as it was nearing end of summer. Perfect for touring the site and spending time to view each building. The buildings are well maintained despite how old they are. Lots of history information about the Robins company. It was cool to see how the blacksmith makes his nails from iron ore utilising the technique from that era. Very cool as well to visit the carpenter shop and learn how they made boats back then, really enjoyed that. The gift shop has a bit of everything, the staff are very friendly and most speak English. I would love to go back, it's like a step...

Nous avons passé un très bon deux heures lors de notre visite du lieu historique de Paspébiac. Le lieu est impressionnant, très immersif et en super état de conservation malgré les bâtiments de ~1800.
Moment coup de cœur: notre passage avec le forgeron, qui a pris beaucoup temps à nous expliquer son métier et à nous faire une démonstration de fabriquation des clous de l’époque. Nous en sommes même ressorti avec un cadeau !
N’oubliez pas de passer par l’accueil pour acheter vos billets (lors de notre passage, plusieurs personnes ne l’ont pas compris).
Le personnel était très sympathique et très courtois. Nous n’avons pas essayé le restaurant.
Suggestions: Nous étions en fin de saison, donc cela manquait un peu d’animation. Mais la dame à l’accueil nous a expliqué que les guides, des étudiants, avait repris l’école. Donc normalement il y en a, hors période creuse comme pour nous.
Une boutique plus garnie, il n’y avait plus de magnets souvenirs...
