Today was the vernissage for Lieux de memoire at the Moulin de La Chevrotiere in Deschambault. It was a beautiful day for the roughly two-hour drive from Montreal through the Quebec countryside. The mill was an ideal space, a true “place of memory” fitting with curator Denis Longchamp’s vision for the exhibit.
