Maison Gourdeau de Beaulieu
Maison Gourdeau de Beaulieu Review
The island's first home was built in 1648 for Jacques Gourdeau de Beaulieu, the first seigneur (a landholder who distributed lots to tenant farmers) of Ste-Pétronille. Remodeled over the years, this white house with blue shutters now incorporates both French and Québec styles. Its thick walls and dormer windows are characteristic of Breton architecture, but its sloping, bell-shape roof, designed to protect buildings from large amounts of snow, is typical Québec style. The house is not open to the public.
