Saviez-vous que...
Jusqu'au milieu du XX^e siècle, à partir de la halte routière située entre Notre-Dame-du-Nord (à l'époque Notre-Dame-des-Quinze) et St-Bruno-de-Guigues sur la route 101, il fallait descendre une pente graveleuse (moraine de Laverlochère) et traverser trois grosses buttes de terre sur un mille de distance en direction nord-sud. Ce lieu allait être désigné « Les Côtes à Perreault ».

En effet, cinq familles apparentées de défricheurs du nom de Perreault s'installèrent sur ces dénivellations entre 1907 et 1910. Elles venaient de Saint-Alban et de Sainte-Anne-la-Pérade et eurent au total 44 enfants dont plusieurs naquirent dans les Côtes. Une sixième famille de Perreault (Mathias) venue de joliette, s'y installa aussi en 1914.

Elle n'était toutefois pas apparentée aux premiers arrivants. Depuis, il y a toujours eu un ou des Perreault propriétaires de lots dans les Côtes.

Did you know...
Until the mid-20th century, from the bus stop located between Notre-Dame-du-Nord (then called Notre-Dame-des-Quinze) and St-Bruno-de-Guigues on Route 101, you had to go down a gravelly slope (Laverlochère moraine) and cross three large mounds of earth over a mile heading north-south. This place came to be called “Les Côtes à Perreault”.

Indeed, five related families of settlers named Perreault settled on these

slopes between 1907 and 1910. They came from Saint-Alban and Sainte-Anne-la-Pérade and had a total of 44 children, several of whom were born in the Côtes. A sixth Perreault family (Mathias), from Joliette, also settled there in 1914.

However, they were not related to the first arrivals. Since then, there has always been one or more Perreaults owning lots in the Côtes.
