Vieux-Poste

Reconstructed fur-trade post on a site used for seasonal Innu trade from the 1600s.

Vieux-Poste reconstructs a fur-trading post first built in 1661, when this coast was tied to seasonal trade with the Innu. Guides explain the old exchange economy and the way the site connected the Gulf shore to the interior.

The place is small, but it has real weight. It turns Sept-Îles from a modern industrial port into part of a much older coastal route.
