What you can expect

Get ready to discover the true face of death in the 17th century!

This new animated guided tour of New France plunges you into funeral rites, ancient cemeteries and approximate burials of the period through the gloomy tales of your highly (or almost) alive guide.

What were the resting places in Old Quebec? How were the bodies of the criminals, the poor and the elite disposed of? What were the settlers’ rites of passage? How was death viewed at the time?

Come and uncover well-buried mortuary secrets during a morbid but oh-so-entertaining tour!
