La Vieille prison de Trois-Rivières (MQCP)

Great experience. Tour was really informative. They don't offer bilingual tours when we were there but I was able to translate for my family and the infographics on the walls were french and english. Don't forget to check out the museum attached as there's a section dedicated to the prison. Our tour guide was nice, knew lots about the prison. I would recommend this tour.

We so enjoyed the tour of the old prison. Super worth visiting! We went for the English tour offered once per day in the summer months. Alexander, our tour guide, was fantastic!! He was so engaging to listen to, and answered all our questions throughout the tour. He really made it a great experience. Would highly recommend :

Very interesting tour with a friendly guide. I did it in French but you can ask for English tour at the reception it's not everyday that you can have in english!! So maybe it's better to get the information before to go.nIf you are lucky you can get some true stories that happen in the jail. I feel I little sad but it's interesting to know !

If you were looking for an excuse to stop by Trois-Rivières, QC - if nothing else - a tour to the Vieille prison de Trois-Rivières is the answer. Well worth it! The tour in English by Alexander 11am is fantastic. He is very captivating to listen to, he is good at painting the image with words and very versed on the facts about the history and the operation of the prison.

Went for the English tour and it was really nice. The tour guide spoke English very well and was very animated and answered questions. The prison itself was small however that didn’t take away from the intrigue.nIf you’re in the area and have been curious about visiting an abandon prison and learning a little more history, I would start here!
