François-Xavier Blais

Come greet Piloup who lives in the fountain since the first edition of the Quebec Games in 1971. Rivière-du-Loup will again receive the event of the 50th anniversary in 2021. Move to the north corner of the park to enjoy the visual breakthrough on the St. Lawrence River and the Pointe de la Rivière-du-Loup. From this surprising point of view on the magnificent Saint-Patrice church, listen to the story of Father François-Xavier Ludger-Blais who tells you the story of his church and his neighborhood; the oldest district of the city.
