Created in the 17th century for the Richelieu cardinal, the town of Richelieu constitutes a remarkable testimony of classic style town planning. To see: its Main street and its 28 town houses; its old halls; its Art and History museum exhibiting souvenirs of the cardinal, furniture and tapestries; its triumph gates; its ramparts and its moats; but also its pleasant wooded park featuring a beautiful rose garden.

Every other year, the Cape and Sword festival livens up the streets of the Cardinal town, with its riders, singers, comedians and musicians dressed up with old-time suits and plunging the spectators in the heart of the 17th century.
