Tavibois

The Centre Tavibois[1] (French pronunciation: [tavibwa]) is located in Hérouxville, in the Mékinac Regional County Municipality, in Mauricie, in Quebec, in Canada.

Community ownership of the Daughters of Jesus, this area offers a variety of services all seasons to individuals, families and groups: accommodation, meals at the Manor, meeting rooms and outdoor activities.

Despite its proximity to the Saint-Maurice River, 3.8 km (measured in a straight line), the Tavibois center is part of the watershed of the Batiscanie, Quebec.

At the end of the 19th century, John McDougall acquired this area which also included the Forges Saint- Joseph where iron or was mined.

[2] Since the establishment of the Tavibois center, Archbishop Tessier and Dr. Denoncourt have greeted the end of the stay in the community of the Daughters of Jesus, through physical maintenance, website development and animation.

Tavibois hosted renowned artists including Jordi Bonet, the French poet Gustave Thibon, Pierre Bourgault, Leo Arbour, Lévis Martin, and many others.
