1. Caserne de la Nouvelle-France / Nouvelle France Barracks Marker
Les trophées d'armes de la porte d'entrée, adossés au pignon de la maison voisine, ont été conservés.
(English translation:)
The first Nouvelle France barracks were completed in 1773 by the architect-entrepreneur Claude-Martin Goupy for the French Guards, renamed the National Guards during the Revolution. An unfounded legend claims that it would have hosted Bernadotte, future marshal of France, then king of Sweden under the name of Charles XIV. This barracks housed infantry troops until 1914, and, after this date, the Republican Guard which still occupies it. Around 1930, it was demolished due to dilapidation, and rebuilt by the architect Boegner.
The weapon trophies of the front door, leaning against the gable of the neighboring house, have been preserved.
