The story of the MAISON DESCHAMBAULT began in 1775, when Jean Boudreau acquired the
land from his brother-in-law, Lord Joseph-Henri de la Gorgendière. in 1776, Jean
Boudreau, navigator, married Josephte Germain and built a first house, made of wood,
where ten children were born. In 1790, Jean Boudreau built a new house, made of stone and
similar to the current house.
Jean Boudreau died in 1828, his widow found herself forced to rent the house to Mr.
Charles Audet known as Lapointe, who looked after the surrounding land.
Later, Englishman Thomas Grandham bought the house and occupied it until his death in
1935. Because he was very poor, the house has deteriorated. In 1935, it was practically in
ruins.
At that time, the steward of the government's experimental farm, neighbor to the house,
convinced the authorities to restore the house. From then on, it was home to the farm
stewards - Mr. Andréa St-Pierre (for 23 years), then Mr. Bélanger and later Mr. Genest.
In 1982, the house became vacant and remained so until "Les
Chaumières portneuviennes" converted it into an inn, January 1987, and gave it
the name of MAISON DESCHAMBAULT.
In may 1991, innkeepers Hélène Grünert and Claude Fiset, your present hosts, bought LA
MAISON DESCHAMBAULT.
