Français : Plaque de Jacques Boisdon
« Premier aubergiste de Québec, 1648 Pour apporter réconfort aux colons courageux et favoriser la bonne entente, le Conseil de la Nouvelle-France accordait, le 19 septembre 1648, à Jacques Boisdon la permission d'opérer ici la première auberge de Québec. Ce privilège lui est consenti à condition de fermer son établissement les dimanches ainsi que pendant les fêtes et offices religieux. Une légende veut que le bedeau, chargé par l'église de maintenir le bon ordre, fouille scrupuleusement chaque chambre en passant sa canne sous les lits afin de chasser quiconque occuperait les lieux durant la messe. En ces murs, témoins de vives rencontres, résonnèrent rires et confidences des colons, coureurs des bois et soldats réunis. Ici, l'espace d'un moment on oubliait terres hostiles, misère et épidémies. Une seule devise faisait loi : fraterniser, festoyer et se réchauffer le coeur et l'âme pour oublier les rigueurs de l'hiver et les tracas de la survivance. »
English: « Quebec's first inn-keeper, 1648
On September 19th 1648, the Council of New France granted Jacques Boisdon permission to operate Quebec's first inn to bring comfort and fellowship to the courageous settlers. This privilege was granted on the condition that the establishment be closed on Sundays and holidays, and during religious celebrations. Legend has it that the beadle, whose duties included preserving order at church services, would diligently search each room and poke under the beds with his staff to ensure that no one remained on the premises during mass. These walls bear witness to festive evenings, ringing laughter and stories told in confidence by settlers, fur traders and soldiers. Here, for a brief moment, hostile lands, misery and epidemics were forgotten. There was but one rule : enjoy fellowship, feast and warm yourself to forget the rigours of winter and the daily struggle for survival. » |
