Take a little trip to Chambord in the Lac-Saint-Jean region and as if by magic, you will suddenly be swept into heart of the 1920s in the mono-industrial town of Val-Jalbert. From the convent to the post office, from the gossips at the general store and the pulp mill, take a glimpse at the daily lives of working class families of the era. You will live through their confusion when the announcement came that their village was closing in 1927. From high up in the cable car, you will be overcome with emotion before the power of the Chute Ouiatchouan. In the silence of the campground at night or in one of the site's rooms, you'll wonder if the marvellous waterfall that fuelled the mill, now keeps the old village alive...
