La Cité de l'Or
Canada's only historic site offering a genuine underground descent into a former gold mine, this complex offers a day-as-a-miner experience 91 metres underground, complemented by a visit to the still-inhabited mining village of Bourlamaque.
Magasin général Dumulon
The township's first general store, founded in 1924 by the Dumulon family on the shore of Lac Osisko, this authentic store and post office comes back to life today through costumed characters who humorously recount the origins of Rouyn-Noranda's founding.
Sainte-Thérèse-d'Avila Cathedral
North America's only Romano-Byzantine-style cathedral, this circular structure, built in 1922–1923, stands out for its copper-clad reinforced-concrete dome, its French stained glass from Rennes, and its Venetian mosaics, the fruit of a founding journey by settlers who arrived by canoe along the Harricana River.
Fort-Témiscamingue–Obadjiwan National Historic Site
A fur-trading post frequented by the Algonquin for centuries, this historic site on the shore of Lake Témiscamingue traces more than two centuries of French, then British, occupation, built around a strategic location at the crossroads of northern trade routes.
Abitibi-Témiscamingue Mineralogy Museum
The only museum of its kind in Québec, this institution offers an immersive family exhibition on the fascinating world of minerals and rocks hidden beneath the Earth's surface, highlighting the geological wealth that founded the region's mining economy.
