The events you are about
to uncover in this exhibit
occurred in Rivière-Ouelle,
more specifically, in Pointe
de la Rivière Ouelle. The
beluga, called a "porpoise"
many years ago, shaped the
history and landscape of this
town, just as it did its
inhabitants and its legends.

Rivière-Ouelle was known for
its belugas, outside Quebec
and on other continents.
   Join us on this truly
epic journey. Discover a cast
of characters that includes
Louis XIV, many unexpected
events and some very strong
family ties.
   Happy time travelling!

gave me access to the
archives of his father,
Émile, the last beluga
