TROIS-RIVIÈRES, QC (Three-Rivers)
In response of a topic with gritty pictures of my hometown, i decided to post some pics of the nicer areas of Trois-Rivières (Three-Rivers) Québec!

I have so many of them and they are on my website from 2004 to 2006, do I will post just a few random ones here! enjoy

The skyline


The cathedral, one of the few buildings that survived the great fire of 1908










It's now all nice though...


The St-Maurice river running trough the middle of the city








The Notre-Dame Sanctuary, the pope went there in 1984, under a pouring rain!








The riverside park and the Laviolette Bridge








The local fair


Local highrise




Karting competition organised at the riverside park




Suburbs


Skyline


Nice houses just outside downtown








Pictures taken from the rooftop








----------------------> scroll






The bridge






















The first "skyscraper" in town






Main street






Oldest building, c. 1672


St-Quentin island park, in the middle of the river






scroll ------------------->




Old quarter, they removed the wires since then


I think it's enough now

thanks for watching

Looks nice. The architecture is unique; is this typical Quebec architecure in these pictures?

Typical of old towns along the St-Laurent river... The further you go inland, the less of this architecture you see, it turns out to be more "north american".

Actually, T-R's architecture is said to be pretty north-american, since pretty much all french-style buildings were destroyed in the 1908 fire.

These are typical Quebec 1700-1800 houses. You will find a lot of these house in the St. Lawrence valley.

I've never stopped in T-R, only driven through. I think I should check it out one of these days.

^ Several tenants, such as lawyers, engineers, graphics conceptors, a radio station, etc... I took this pic in 2004 :



Thanks for the great response!
