Au détour du chemin qui mène à la Haute-Ville
Entre 1650 et 1660, le gouverneur de la Nouvelle-France, Jean de Lauzon, concède les terrains aujourd'hui occupés par le parc La Cetière. Les nouveaux propriétaires s'empressent d'y faire bâtir maison.
Jacques Maheu est l'un d'eux. Il possède quatre terres dans les environs de Québec. Il élève quelques animaux et s'adonne à la culture, à la chasse et à la pêche.
At the bend in the road to Upper Town
Between 1650 and 1660, the Governor of New France, Jean de Lauzon, ceded the lots on which the parc La Cetiere stands. The new owners quickly built houses on their property.
Jacques Maheu was one of them. He owned four pieces of land around Quebec. He raised a few animals and busied himself with farming, hunting and fishing.
