PAUL DE CHOMEDEY DE MAISONNEUVE
(1612-1676)

A la tête d'un groupe d'une cinquantaine de personnes,
Paul de Chomedey de Maisonneuve, officier né en Champagne,
fonda Ville-Marie le 17 mai 1642. Ayant subi l'influence du
courant mystique issu de l'école de spiritualité française et
des écrits des Jésuites, il fut choisi par la Société Notre-Dame
de Montréal, formée de laïcs et de prêtres, pour établir une
colonie missionnaire au Canada. Une vie d'épreuves et de
combats épuisants commençait pour les <<Montréalistes>>.
Premier gouverneur de l'île de Montréal, Maisonneuve jeta
les bases de la métropole qu'est devenue Montréal.

Paul de Chomedey de Maisonneuve, a military officer born
in Champagne, France, was the first Governor of the Island
of Montréal. Influenced by the spiritual climate of the age
and by the writings of the Jesuits, he accepted a call from the
Société Notre-Dame de Montréal, an association of devout
laymen and priests, to establish a missionary colony in
Canada. On 17 May 1642, he and a party of fifty people
founded Ville-Marie. Although years of hardship and strife
followed for the pioneer settlers, Maisonneuve had laid the
foundations upon which the metropolis of Montréal was
built.

LE CHATEAU RAMEZAY
CHATEAU RAMEZAY

Le gouverneur de Montréal Claude de Ramezay fit ériger
ici en 1705, par Pierre Couturier, un edifice pour lui
servir de demeure. La Compagnie des Indes occidentales,
qui le posséda de 1745 à 1763, le fit rebâtir et élargir en
1756 selon les plans de Paul Tessier dit Lavigne. Les
gouverneurs généraux résidèrent au Château de 1773 à
1844, les envahisseurs américains s’y logèrent en 1775-
1776, et le Conseil exécutif y siégea en 1839. Il abrita,
après 1849, des bureaux du gouvernement, des cours de
justice, des écoles et facultés. Depuis 1895, il loge la Société
d’Archéologie et de Numismatique de Montréal et son musée.

The Château was built in 1705 by Pierre Couturier, as a
residence for Claude de Ramezay, Governor of Montreal.
The Compagnie des Indes occidentales, which owned it
from 1745-1763, had it rebuilt and enlarged in 1756
after plans by Paul Tessier dit Lavigne. It was the Mont-
real residence of the Governors General, 1773-1844, and
was occupied by American invaders in 1775-1776. In
1839 the Château housed the Executive Council and after
1849 other government offices, courts of law and schools.
In 1895 it became the headquarters and museum of the
Antiquarian and Numismatic Society of Montreal.

LA MAISON CARTIER
MAISON CARTIER

Construite vers 1837, cette maison est un bel exemple des maisons
jumelées que l'on construisait à l'époque dans la Vieux Montréal.
George-Étienne Cartier demeura dans la partie est de 1848 à 1854,
puis dans la partie ouest de 1862 à 1872. Avec John A. Macdonald,
Cartier dirigea la Province du Canada-Uni à plusieurs reprises sous
le régime de l'Union des deux Canadas après 1857. Il fut aussi l'un
des principaux artisans de la Confédération et l'un des membres les
plus influents du premier ministère canadien, en 1867, comme
ministre de la Milice et de la Défense.

Typical of the 19th century architecture of Old Montreal, this
building was constructed about 1837 as a double residence and twice
served as the home of one of Canada's distinguished statesman,
George-Étienne Cartier (1814-1873), who occupied the east half of
this building from 1848 until 1854 and the west half between 1862
and 1872. Cartier shared, with John A. Macdonald, the leadership
of the Province of Canada for most of the decade after 1857 and
was one of the principal architects of Confederation. He became a
leading member of the first Dominion cabinet in which he served as
Minister of Militia and Defence.
