Description:

On a wall of the museum, a mural of aluminum plates displays the names of thirty writers. A steel inkwell is installed near the wall.Lecterns are arranged along a trail. On these lecterns, aluminum plates display texts by some of the authors who names appear on the wall.

Sculptures are disseminated throughout the park. The first one represents a scene from the novel La mort rousse by Pierre Chatillon. Another represents Hyacinthe Bellerose, a character from the novel Le canard de bois by Louis Caron. The third represents Marguerite and Philédor Beausoleil, characters from the novel Philédor Beausoleil by Pierre Chatillon, and five small characters from Québec legends. The fourth represents Jos Violon and four elves, characters from Contes de Jos Violon by Louis Fréchette. The fifth illustrates the song Un Canadian errant by Antoine Gérin-Lajoie. The sixth is inspired by the story of Le Bonhomme Sept Heures, a novel by Louis Caron, represents the young hero seated at the foot of a steel pine that stands five meters tall. The seventh, the heart line, is inspired from a scene of L’enfance est une île, a short story by Pierre Chatillon. It represents a large woman's hand in the palm of which a small golden canoe is floating. Five drawings by Nicole Vigneault, illustrating short poems by Pierre Chatillon, appear on aluminum plates.

Remarks on location:

A land of 50 hectares, with many crossing paths decorated with benches and picnic tables. The first path leads to the St. Lawrence River and allows visitors to discover the island's interior, its woodlands and cropland, in a journey sprinkled with poetry. The second path leads to the South to the center of Île d'Orléans, where is a small maple grove of yesteryear with its traditional sugar shack.
