The structure is also a treasured example of Québec’s cultural heritage, thanks to its award-winning Art Deco architecture. Don’t miss the interpretation centre featuring the captivating exhibit “Beauharnois Generating Station: Exceptional since 1932.” Important: Visitors must comply with certain obligations.
