Rallye des Patriotes
Rallye des Patriotes
Looking for a fun and rewarding outdoor activity? Whether you're on your own, with family or friends, we suggest this rally: À la découverte des Patriotes du Haut-Richelieu (Discovering the Patriots of the Haut-Richelieu). The booklet, created by historian and project manager Marilou Desnoyers, is part of the Historical Rallies Collection, an initiative designed to showcase the heritage of the Haut-Richelieu region.
Rain or shine, that's no problem! You'll travel by car from Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, via Saint-Blaise, Noyan, Saint-Paul-de-l'Île-aux-Noix and Saint-Blaise to Lacolle. Along the way, you'll explore the architectural and historical riches of our heritage. And that's not all! You'll also learn more about the Patriotes and their wives, as they tell their own stories.
To participate in this tour, pick up the booklet at the locations listed below, all in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu:
