Once known as the Convent of the Good Shepherd, the Convent provided refuge for vulnerable women, children and orphans. Nowadays, the convent building and formal gardens play host to events and festivals, workshops and classes, music and theatre performances, and in summer, outdoor cinema. Located on a bend of the Yarra river, the historic site features beautiful and eerie gothic spires of the convent, lush lawns, secluded courtyards and a meticulously restored formal garden. Entry is also free and the garden is open late. Have a beer or even join a team of gardening volunteers.

Located only 45 minutes from Saint-Hippolyte, the Église Saint-Eustache is an integral piece of Québec's history. During the Battle of Saint Eustache, a deciding battle in what is commonly known as the 'Patriots War,' the church was a refuge for the beleaguered Patriotes. It was partially destroyed by the British during the 1837 battle, but was rebuilt in the following decade.

Located in the forum, this temple is dedicated to the Roman Emperor Augustus, and was built between the 2 BC and 14 AD, during the reconstruction of the colony. Having served a variety of different functions in its long history, including storing grain and as a church, the statuesque building is now used to house a collection of wonderfully preserved ancient bronze and stone sculptures.
