LAWRENCE RIVER. The Chemin du Roy was used for over a century and a half by messengers and travellers who made their way by horsedrawn carriage, stage coach, mail coach and by sleigh during the winter. There were once up to 29 way stations. Due to their location, some of the most popular stops included Berthier, where lunch was always served, Trois-Rivières, for an overnight stop, as well as Deschambault. It was possible to make the trip in two days using fast horses! Today, Route 138 still follows most of the original course, from Québec City to Repentigny, passing through Trois-Rivières. The Chemin du Roy is the coastal twin of the St. Lawrence River. Follow it to the end and retrace the history of Québec through its stunning landscapes and fascinating heritage. The Chemin du Roy is the authentic New France road, still thriving in the 21st century, and the first carriage road to link Québec City to Montreal. Photo: Michel Julien At the beginning of the 18 th century, the road network covered only a very small part of New France’s vast territory. Although some country lanes and segments of road were to be found here and there, a road joining Montreal to Québec City had yet to be built. In 1706, the Grand Council (Conseil Supérieur) decreed that a road be built to connect the settlements along the North shore of the river. Work began in 1731, under the supervision of senior road surveyor (Grand Voyer) Jean-Eustache Lanouiller de Boisclerc, and was completed in 1737. Upon completion, the Chemin du Roy was 7.4 meters wide, over 280 kilometers long and crossed 37 seigniories. 06 Welcome to the Lanaudière Region!

For many years, the “Chez Claude” Restaurant garnered international acclaim by winning numerous awards for their traditional French cuisine. In 1986, in keeping with the times, a second restaurant opened in the same building and was modeled after a wine bar. Thus was born the L’Étiquette wine bar. Again, in response to the expectations of our clients, we merged the Chez Claude and L’Étiquette menus in 2005 to create 2 different sections, each with a distinctive atmosphere, while serving the same diversified menu at Castel des Prés.
