About the museum

Located just a few meters from the site of the old French and English fur  trading posts, the CHAM opens the doors to a peaceful and magnificent place where guides are waiting to show you around this exceptional site!

Immerse yourself in the history of the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean area by reliving the encounter between Europeans and Natives. The exhibition "Culture shock - Métabetchouan" highlights the view of one culture on another. Throughout the visit, travel through European writings that reveal their perception and interpretation of a culture... that of the Natives, more specifically those of the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region.
