Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul, Québec, Canada, Nouvelle-France Pierre Tremblay, seigneur des Éboulements (b. 1660-1736) Spouse: Marie Madeleine Roussin

"Pendant plus de 20 ans à l'Ange Gardien, Ozanne et Pierre avaient mis au monde une douzaine d'enfants dont 11 vivants. L'aînée des filles, Madeleine, avait épousé Nicolas Roussin en 1671. L'ancêtre cherche une terre plus grande pour ses fils. Ainsi, Pierre s'embauche pour cinq ans, le 1er décembre 1678, au service des propriétés de Mgr Laval à Baie St-Paul. Son curé l'abbé François Fillion signe au bas du contrat Becquet. Pierre arrive en ce nouveau lieu le 2 avril 1679 pour terminer la construction d'une maison de ferme et s'occuper de ses animaux. Il doit remettre la moitié des grains récoltés en fin de saison, car on lui a fourni les grains de semence, les instruments aratoires, les rets, le sel et les barriques pour déposer le poisson. Il devient un cadre au service de l'évêque et deux de ses fils sont employés comme manœuvres. Ainsi, l'abbé Maizeret écrit le 5 août qu'il versera 600 livres en salaires aux Tremblay." [1]

Reference Notes

Pierre Tremblay, seigneur des Éboulements, Les Éboulements is a municipality in the Capitale-Nationale region of Quebec, Canada. Its population centres include Les Éboulements (located along Route 362 on the plateau overlooking the Saint Lawrence River), Éboulements-Est (at the feet of Mount Éboulements), Cap-aux-Oies, Sainte-Marie-de-Charlevoix, and Saint-Joseph-de-la-Rive (47°27′30″N 70°22′05″W on the shores of the Saint Lawrence facing Saint-Bernard-sur-Mer). Saint-Joseph-de-la-Rive, formerly known as Les Éboulements-en-Bas and Quai-des-Éboulements, is the departure point for ferries to L'Isle-aux-Coudres.

The municipality is member of the Association of Most Beautiful Villages of Quebec due to its country heritage and to the beautiful architecture and character of its houses.

Les Éboulements is located in the centre of the Charlevoix crater. Mount Éboulements (Mont des Éboulements), in the eastern part of the municipality, is considered the central rebound of the earth's crust following moments after the meteor impact some 350 million years ago. This mountain, appearing on a map in 1837 by H. W. Bayfield as "Mt Eboulemens" [sic], has an altitude of 770 meters (2,530 ft).[4]

Rivers within the municipality include the Boudreault and Seigneur Rivers, both small tributaries of the Saint Lawrence River.

History: In February 1663, a strong earthquake shook the Charlevoix region and triggered a large landslide down the slopes that characterize the hills of the area to the Saint Lawrence coast. Among the many eyewitnesses that testified to the significance of the event, priest Lalement wrote: "near the Bay called St. Paul, there was a small mountain alongside the river, a quarter of a league in circumference, which was abyssed, and as if it had not done that dive, it came out of the bottom to change into an islet." Thereafter the area was known as les Éboulements (French for "the landslides").[1]

On April 1, 1683, the Éboulements Seignory was granted to Pierre Lessard by Governor La Barre and Intendant de Meulles, having an area of 1¼ league wide by 2 leagues deep. In 1710, the seignory was acquired by Pierre Tremblay who really began its development and granted concessions to settlers arriving at the beginning of the 18th century. In 1732, the parish was founded.[1][5][6]

In 1810, the seignory was sold to Pierre de Sales Laterrière. In 1845, the municipality was originally established as L'Assomption-de-Notre-Dame-des-Éboulements, but abolished two years later. In 1855, it was reestablished as L'Assomption-de-la-Sainte-Vierge, and in 1859, the seignorial system was abolished by the municipal council.[1][6]

In 1931, the Village Municipality of Saint-Joseph-de-la-Rive was formed when it separated from the Municipality of L'Assomption-de-la-Sainte-Vierge. In 1956, the municipality was renamed to Les Éboulements. In 2001, Les Éboulements and Saint-Joseph-de-la-Rive were merged and formed the new Municipality of Les Éboulements.[1]

On October 13, 1997, a bus traveling down the steep road to Saint-Joseph-de-la-Rive failed to slow down and negotiate a turn, crashed through the barriers and plunged over 10 meters into a ravine. This accident killed 44 persons, making it the deadliest road accident in Canadian history.[7]^[1]
