Supplier information
<p><strong>Acquired by Jacques Cartier</strong> shortly before his third voyage to Canada (1541-1542), the manor of Limoëlou became his main residence, shared with his wife Catherine des Granches, to the detriment of their Malouin residence located on rue La Buhen (present-day rue de Chateaubriand).</p><p> Rented to farmers from the 19th century onwards, the manor was <strong>restored in 1984 with the support of the Macdonald Stewart Foundation</strong> and transformed into a museum. Faithfully restored to its original state, this residence pays tribute to the life and expeditions of the <strong>famous explorer from Saint-Malo.</strong></p>
