Manitoba’s French connection dates back over 200 years. The hardy, hardworking fur traders – known as voyageurs – made lasting relationships with Indigenous people and important contributions to the province’s history. Today, the Francophone spirit lives on through French-speaking communities around the province and must-visit attractions celebrating Franco-Manitoban culture. From visiting the burial place of the father of Manitoba, Louis Riel, to tasting the sweet maple taffy at le Festival du Voyageur’s cabane à sucre, you’ll find many ways to experience our vibrant French culture.
The Musée Saint-Boniface Museum is the oldest building in Winnipeg, originally built as a convent in 1844.
Le Festival du Voyageur is Western Canada’s largest winter festival. For more than 50 years, this celebration of Manitoba’s French and Métis culture and heritage comes alive every February in Wininpeg’s St. Boniface neighbourhood.
More InfoIn Manitoba’s south east region, French Manitoba passion and history are alive in places like St. Malo and St. Pierre-Jolys.
