A village basking in old-world charm

Located 25 kilometres from Québec City, Saint-Antoine-de-Tilly has preserved its character and charm.  

The lower part of the village, called Les Fonds de Saint-Antoine, consists of a collection of villas and cottages along the St. Lawrence shoreline.  From here, you can follow the majestic parade of ocean liners, or walk along the shore marsh in harmony with the river.  The upper part of the village, first settled around 1680, presents wonderful examples of traditional homes of various styles (including three seigneurial manor houses).

At the eastern entrance to the parish, note the wayside crucifix and beautiful American-style octagonal barn, a rarity in Québec. The former Manoir de Tilly (manor house) serves fine regional cuisine and offers spa treatments. The Bergeron cheese factory gives tastings and interpretation, while surrounding orchards are heavy with apples at the beginning of autumn.

The village centre removed its telephone poles and electrical wires in 2003..
