Around the Fireplace…Holiday Traditions

The Château Ramezay offers visitors a variety of fun during the festive season! Get the family together and re-acquaint yourselves with old-fashioned holiday traditions thanks to our entertaining exhibits and activities! Stock up on memories and stories you can share with family and friends! Around the Fireplace… Holiday Traditions This Holiday season, five of the Château’s fireplaces will be sumptuously decorated according to a particular theme. Each mantelpiece will explain the origin of a specific Christmas tradition: Christmas cards, Christmas stockings, advent calendars and more – it’ll be well worth gathering around the fireside! Hang your Christmas stocking! Only the Château Ramezay offers this activity! Children can hang a Christmas stocking by the fireplace and come back in the New Year to see what Santa has left them! (But they’d better be good!) Bread making workshop To underline the importance of bread in New France and see how it was made, young and old are invited to try their hand at making, baking and tasting some colonial-style, sweet bread.
