Parc de la Cetière - Quebec City, Quebec, Canada - Preserved Architectural Remnants and Ruins on Waymarking.com

Parc de la Cetière was named after Florent de la Cetière, who was born in 1668 and died in 1728, at the age of 60. Over the years, he had a number of different professions, including notary, clerk of the court, judge, upholsterer and tavern-keeper. His property was located at the tip of the park, near the Côte de la Montagne. Not far from there, the foundations of two houses were unearthed: those of Jean Soulard and Guillaume Gaillard. Gaillard was a member of the Sovereign Council, a businessman and seigneur.

During the excavations in this area, 13 spigots were discovered. A spigot is a small tap used to draw liquid from a cask. These clues prompt us to ask: did one of these two houses serve as a shop? A notarial deed confirms our assumptions: while he was alive, Jean Soulard rented his house to a merchant.

Le parc de la Cetière est appelé ainsi en l’honneur de Florent de la Cetière. Né en 1668, l’homme s’est éteint à 60 ans, en 1728. Au fil des années, il exercera plusieurs métiers, dont ceux de notaire, greffier, juge, tapissier et cabaretier. Son terrain était situé à la pointe du parc, près de la côte de la Montagne. Tout près, les fondations de deux maisons ont été mises au jour : celle de Jean Soulard et celle de Guillaume Gaillard. Ce dernier était membre du Conseil souverain, homme d’affaires et seigneur.

Lors des fouilles effectuées dans ce secteur, on a découvert treize cannelles. Une cannelle est un petit robinet utilisé pour retirer le liquide d’un tonneau. Les indices parlent : aurait-on tenu commerce dans l’une ou l’autre de ces deux habitations? Un acte notarié le confirme : de son vivant, Jean Soulard louait sa maison à un marchand.
