Tu as réussi à avoir une première clé!
Après ta première aventure, tu as ajouté une clé à ton trousseau...Te voilà projeté quelques décennies plus tard. Le Manoir n’est plus seulement une grande maison seigneuriale: c'est maintenant un lieu religieux...il reste encore deux clés à retrouver ! À cette borne, ta mission est simple, mais pas facile:observer les détails de cette époque, comprendre à quoi sert le Manoir maintenant… et repérer où la clé a pu se faufiler. Regarde bien, écoute l’histoire, et aide Gapi à récupérer sa deuxième clé avant que quelqu’un ne la range pour de bon dans un tiroir oublié !.

You got your first key!
After your first adventure, you added a key to your set... Now you're transported a few decades into the future. The Manor is no longer just a grand stately home: it's now a religious site... and there are still two keys to find! At this terminal, your mission is simple, but not easy: observe the details of this era, understand what the Manor is used for now... and figure out where the key might have ended up. Look carefully, listen to the story, and help Gapi find his second key before someone puts it away for good in a forgotten drawer!

1776
United States Independence
In 1776, the Thirteen British Colonies of North America rebelled against the rule of the United Kingdom, tired of taxes and decisions imposed from London. On July 4th, the representatives of the colonies signed the Declaration of Independence, primarily drafted by Thomas Jefferson, where they proclaimed their right to be free and equal. This document not only marked the birth of a new nation but also introduced revolutionary ideas about human rights, liberty, and democracy. The struggle was long and difficult, but in 1783 the United States achieved their final independence after defeating the British army. The American example inspired other independence movements across the American continent and beyond. Its ideals of freedom and equality became symbols of hope for oppressed peoples around the world.

1492
Arrival in America
In 1492, Christopher Columbus undertook an expedition sponsored by the Catholic Monarchs of Spain with the goal of finding a new route to Asia by sailing west. His journey led him to discover a completely unknown territory to Europeans: the American continent. Although Columbus thought he had reached the Indies, he had actually opened the door to a new world. The encounter between Europeans and the indigenous peoples of America marked the beginning of an unprecedented process of cultural, commercial, and biological exchange. New products, animals, and knowledge were introduced to both continents, transforming the lives of millions of people. However, this discovery also had a dark side: colonization, resource exploitation, and the arrival of diseases that decimated native populations. Despite this, 1492 is considered a turning point that marked the beginning of the Modern Age and the process of globalization.

Pierre-Louis Deschenaux
Né à Québec en 1759, Pierre-Louis Deschenaux est juge de la nouvelle Cour provinciale de Trois-Rivières. Son prestige ne masque toutefois pas ses frustrations : son traitement, inférieur à celui des juges de la Cour du banc du roi, nourrit un certain ressentiment. Il est un magistrat curieux, discipliné et profondément tourné vers le savoir.
1789
French Revolution
In 1789, France was going through a deep economic and social crisis. The inequalities between classes were extreme: while the nobility and clergy enjoyed privileges, the people bore taxes and hunger. The general unrest erupted when the people of Paris took the Bastille, a symbol of royal power. This event marked the beginning of the French Revolution, a process that radically changed the history of the country and Europe. The French demanded the end of the absolute monarchy and proclaimed the ideals of liberty, equality, and fraternity, principles that inspired other nations. During the following years, France experienced turbulent moments, including the execution of King Louis XVI and the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. However, the spirit of the Revolution left an indelible mark on modern politics and the fight forcitizens' rights.

1939
World War II
In September 1939, Germany, under the command of Adolf Hitler, invaded Poland, prompting the United Kingdom and France to declare war. Thus began World War II, the largest and most destructive conflict in modern history. For six years, the world witnessed a brutal struggle between the Axis powers (Germany, Italy, and Japan) and the Allies (United Kingdom, United States, the Soviet Union, among others). Millions of civilians died, and the Holocaust left an indelible mark on humanity. The conflict ended in 1945 with the surrender of Germany and Japan, after the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. From its ruins, a new world order was born, with the creation of the UN to promote peace and prevent such a tragedy from happening again.
Les Filles de Jésus
En 1902, le manoir est acquis par la communauté des Filles de Jésus. Elles y fondent le Jardin de l'Enfance, école primaire pour garçons. En 1908, lors du grand incendie de Trois-Rivières, le Manoir fait partie des bâtiments anciens épargnés. Les Filles de Jésus quittent les lieux en 1966.
1914
Start of World War I
On June 28, 1914, the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria in Sarajevo triggered a series of military alliances and tensions accumulated in Europe. Within weeks, the entire continent was plunged into a large-scale war: World War I. It was a devastating conflict involving the world's major powers, such as Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Russia, and later the United States. New technologies, like machine guns, tanks, and toxic gases, turned the battlefield into a place of horror and destruction. The war left over 16 million dead and completely transformed global politics. Ending in 1918, it led to the fall of empires such as the Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman Empires, and sowed the tensions that would later lead to World War II.
René Godefroy de Tonnancour
Seigneur de Pointe-du-Lac dès 1679 à la mort de son père et procureur du roi à partir de 1695. Il fit construire sa résidence entre 1723 et 1725 sur le terrain que possède sa famille depuis 1661. Il fut lieutenant général civil et criminel de la juridiction de Trois-Rivières en 1714.
La Ville de Trois-Rivières
En 1966, la maison est classée monument historique et officiellement nommée Manoir de Tonnancour. La Ville de Trois-Rivières devient propriétaire des lieux en 1976 et en entreprend la restauration en collaboration avec le ministère des Affaires culturelles du Québec dès 1977. Le manoir retrouve l'apparence qu'il avait en 1795.

La Ville de Trois-Rivières
In 1966, the house was designated a historical monument and officially named the Tonnancour Manor. The City of Trois-Rivières acquired the property in 1976 and began its restoration in collaboration with the Quebec Ministry of Cultural Affairs in 1977. The manor has been restored to its appearance of 1795.
René Godefroy de Tonnancour
Lord of Pointe-du-Lac from 1679 upon the death of his father and King's Attorney from 1695. He had his residence built between 1723 and 1725 on land owned by his family since 1661. He was Lieutenant General, civil and criminal, of the jurisdiction of Trois-Rivières in 1714.

Pierre-Louis Deschenaux
Born in Quebec City in 1759, Pierre-Louis Deschenaux was a judge of the newly established Provincial Court of Trois-Rivières. His prestige, however, did not mask his frustrations: his salary, lower than that of the judges of the Court of King's Bench, fueled a certain resentment. He was a curious, disciplined magistrate with a profound thirst for knowledge.
Les Filles de Jésus
In 1902, the manor was acquired by the Daughters of Jesus. They founded the Jardin de l'Enfance (Garden of Childhood), a primary school for boys. In 1908, during the great fire of Trois-Rivières, the Manor was among the old buildings spared. The Daughters of Jesus left the premises in 1966.

Pierre-Louis Deschenaux
Born in Quebec City in 1759, Pierre-Louis Deschenaux was a judge of the newly established Provincial Court of Trois-Rivières. His prestige, however, did not mask his frustrations: his salary, lower than that of the judges of the Court of King's Bench, fueled a certain resentment. He was a curious, disciplined magistrate with a profound thirst for knowledge.
Les Filles de Jésus
In 1902, the manor was acquired by the Daughters of Jesus. They founded the Jardin de l'Enfance (Garden of Childhood), a primary school for boys. In 1908, during the great fire of Trois-Rivières, the Manor was among the old buildings spared. The Daughters of Jesus left the premises in 1966.
