History

Les Trois Pignons is a cultural and information centre built in 1978 and can be found by the entrance to Chéticamp Harbour. Along with the museum it houses, the information centre is open from mid-May to mid-October, where guides are available from 8:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. to provide you with tourist tips that can help you make the most of your trip.

If you want to learn more about Chéticamp, take a stroll around the museum, where you will instantly get a feel of what daily life was like for the Chéticamp people. Hundreds of antiques are displayed for your viewing pleasure, and in addition to the many historical pieces, there are also plenty of modern works for you to admire. A particular must-see is the world-renowned hooked rugs—especially those of Élizabeth LeFort, whose masterpieces can also be found in the White House, the Vatican, and Buckingham Palace. Group tours are also available and welcome, so feel free to bring your family and friends along!
