The birthplace of Gabrielle Roy is a very important and recurring symbol in the work of the notorious French-Canadian author. Her books and the descriptions we find there allow us to mentally recreate the home of the time of Gabrielle Roy.

 

For example, Rue Deschambault, takes place in this house where Gabrielle lived for nearly 28 years. She was born in 1909 and spent all her youth and the first years of her adult life in this home.
