The Coteau-du-Lac National Historic Site is located about 50 km southwest of Montréal on the shores of the St. Lawrence River. It features Canada’s first lock canal and the remains of a fort. With a history spanning 7,000 years, the site was a portage and encampment location used by Amerindians to avoid the rapids, a military fortification, and a canal that opened the way for commercial shipping. Le lieu historique national de Coteau-du-Lac est situé à environ 50 kilomètres au sud-ouest de Montréal aux abords du Saint-Laurent. Il abrite le premier canal à écluses du Canada et les vestiges d’un fort. Lieu de portage et de campement très fréquenté par les Amérindiens qui évitaient ainsi les rapides, fortification militaire, puis canal ouvrant la voie à la navigation commerciale, ce site renferme 7000 ans d’histoire.
