In the heart of Québec’s storied Old City, Services d'animation Promas Inc. offers a rare blend of history, mystery, and theatrical flair with its Forfait – Fantôme mystique. This unique nighttime experience invites visitors to wander the shadows of Vieux-Québec on a guided walking tour called Crimes en Nouvelle-France. Guided by a ghostly narrator embodying a notorious colonial-era criminal, guests encounter dark tales of crime, arrest, and execution dating back centuries, all set against the atmospheric streets and stone buildings of this UNESCO World Heritage site. As twilight deepens, the tour culminates at the Fresque des Québécois, further immersing travelers in the untold stories that shaped early Canadian history.
But the night doesn't end there. Guests then move to the iconic Fairmont Le Château Frontenac for Pierre Hamon's captivating Histoire de fantômes show. Hamon, a mentalist and storyteller, channels the eerie yet entertaining world of 18th-century spiritualism, blending humor, mentalism, and historical anecdotes into a one-of-a-kind theatrical performance. This show richly complements the tour by examining past beliefs about the afterlife with wit and education, offering illusions that spark wonder rather than fear.
Together, these two connected experiences unlock a visceral sense of Québec's enigmatic past—from tangible crime scenes in cobblestone alleys to the subtle art of mentalism within castle walls. This package is ideal for history buffs, night owls, and anyone eager to engage with the uncanny side of Québec's cultural heritage. Services d'animation Promas Inc. stands out for blending theatrical storytelling with historical accuracy and an approachable presentation of the supernatural, making it a standout offering in Québec's vibrant cultural scene.
