The heart of the Huron Wendat beats at the rhythm of the Kabir Kouba Waterfall, a natural site of rare beauty, which presents, as the seasons go by, an awe-inspiring scene, continually renewed. Why be astonished when, as soon as 1697, the Huron Wendat established, in this location, their village. A path, starting on the side of Place des Nations, gives access and allows to hear the roar of the gushing water and become captivated by the exceptional natural location of this canyon of 42 metres deep.
Old Wendake offers a different light on the planning and architecture: all the houses face towards the South-East, presenting their fa?ade to the back of the neighbouring house. A patrimonial journey was created; it allows visitors to discover its oldest houses.
The Notre-Dame-de-Lorette church is certainly ?the? gem of Old Wendake. Rebuilt a few years after the fire of 1862, according to the plans and architecture of the first chapel built in 1730, it contains treasures that recall the faith of the Wendake Christian community, actually still very alive.
The ?Maison Arouanne? and the ?Maison Tsawenhohi, by their architecture, testify, in their own way, of the adaptability of the Huron Wendat Nation to a way of life that is different from that of the first inhabitants.


At all times, the Huron Wendat were good craftsmen and great trades people. The tradition is still carried on today. They will greet you with pleasure in their moccasins, snowshoes, leather and other businesses. The welcoming sense of the Huron Wendat is legendary.
The traditional Site "OnhoüΛ Chetek8e" will have you discover the way of life and history of the Hurons from yesterday to this day.
Have a gastronomic experience in certain restaurants where you will be offered foods prepared with wild meats and the three sisters (corn, squash and beans), vegetables that are the basis of the traditional Huron nourishment, with the ?banique? (unleavened bread).
