Capucine et Églantine. Deux souris à Ville-Marie

During spring break, come meet Capucine and Églantine, two mice who arrived with Marguerite Bourgeoys in 1653. The first, who went to live at Maison Saint-Gabriel, has been having fun moving objects around there ever since. Can you put them back in the right rooms of the house? The second mouse decided to stay close to where she disembarked from the ship. She now lives at the Marguerite Bourgeoys Historic Site, where she poses riddles in the chapel and museum. Can you answer her questions?

Capucine and Églantine are waiting for you at these two locations from 28 February to 8 March 2026 to show you where they live and play with you and anyone else you invite to accompany you.
