Visit the Îles-de-la-Madeleine and travel back in time. This site and all its buildings will introduce you to the way of life of the fishermen and their families. Claude, a fisherman who had to give up his occupation after his boat capsized, will tell you in mandelinot (local dialect) about the development of the fisheries and the impact it had on the lives of the islands’ inhabitants.
