Built between 1861 and 1867, the former Québec City prison became the Charles Baillairgé Pavilion in 1987, when our Musée was expanded. This neo-Renaissance building is associated with architect Charles Baillairgé (1826–1906), giving it incredible architectural value.

The two-storey atrium is in the heart of the pavilion, with L’Arbre de la rue Durocher by Armand Vaillancourt as the stunning centrepiece of the space. It’s the ideal place for unforgettable cocktail galas and other celebratory events.  Renting this space also gives you the unique opportunity to discover the old prison cells.  

  • Up to 100 people. Capacity depends on technical requirements and desired setup.
