Bienvenue au lieu historique national du Phare-de-Pointe-au-Père
De 1859 à 1997, les signaux lumineux et sonores du phare de Pointe-au-Père ont guidé des milliers de navires. Ce lieu a aussi accueilli la station officielle de pilotage de l'estuaire du Saint-Laurent durant plus de 50 ans. Pour son double rôle dans l'histoire maritime canadienne, ce phare a été désigné lieu historique national en 1974.
En profitant de l'air salin et de la brise du large, arrêtez-vous aux différents panneaux qui racontent l'organisation et l'évolution de cette station de phare.
Bon voyage dans l'histoire de Pointe-au-Père!

Welcome
to the Pointe-au-Père Lighthouse National Historic Site
From 1859 to 1997, the light and sound produced by the Pointe-au-Père Lighthouse guided thousands of ships. For over 50 years the site was also the official base for pilots plying the St. Lawrence Estuary. In 1974 it was designated as a national historic site in view of its dual contribution to Canadian maritime history.
As you enjoy the salt air and coastal breeze, stop at the various panels that tell the story of how the lighthouse station came to be and evolved over the years.
We hope you enjoy exploring the history of Pointe-au-Père!
