New Carlisle, René Lévesque's birthplace, enchants you with the richness and diversity of its attractions. Mr Lévesque, whose statue is located in the centre of the municipal park, was the founder of the Parti québécois and Premier minister of Québec from 1976 to 1985. While following its heritage circuit, you will relive the past of this loyalist village where the churches, historic monuments, old houses, magnificent wooden residences bordered by century-old trees, remind you of the architectural and cultural characteristics of over two centuries of harmonious cohabitation of the Anglophone and Francophone citizens. In addition to this come the beauty of its beaches, with a wooden promenade and a bird sanctuary, the quality of its restaurant and lodging establishments, and its campgrounds. For a touch of originality and humour, look for the fire hydrants!
