Governor Ramezay Welcomes You to His Chateau

Wherein Lizzie and I take a seat, and check out tiny tunnels.  Chateau Ramezay is a historic building/museum, and upon entering, we listened to a voice actor pretending to be Govenor Ramezay tell us about his beautiful chateau, while his harpy wife chimed in to remind him that it bankrupted him, and that she, the daughter of a rich fur trader, had to beg! Zut alors! Also, in 1775, the house fell into the hands of the, GASP, AMERICANS, and good ol Ben Franklin stayed there, long after M. Ramezay had died, of course.  The chateau also housed Montreal University's Faculty of Medicine, then fell into disrepair, and was bought by an Antiquarian society which restored it into its current museum form in 1895.  It has lots of lovely Canadian historical art and artifacts, and also houses a folk art museum, including a space where children visitors can create their own art by coloring paper-doll magnets.
