Manoir Le Boutillier is a living witness to the history of the Gaspé Peninsula, preserving the memory of a flourishing era of fishing companies and the legacy of John Le Boutillier, a pioneer of regional development.
Manoir Le Boutillier, located in L'Anse-au-Griffon, is a historic gem built between 1850 and 1860. Formerly the fishing post of John Le Boutillier, an influential cod trader, it bears witness to the golden age of the Gaspé fishing industry.
Classified as a historic monument and a National Historic Site of Canada, the Manoir preserves a rich heritage that brings Gaspé traditions to life through exhibitions, guided tours and cultural activities.
Today, Manoir Le Boutillier is much more than just a historic building. It has become a dynamic cultural center, offering educational activities, community events and immersive experiences that connect visitors to the region's living history. Through captivating interpretations and community and artistic initiatives, the Manoir embodies the crossroads where the past meets the present, enriching the Gaspé and its unique heritage.
The organization's mission is to safeguard, conserve and enhance the Manoir Le Boutillier, highlighting the life of its first owner, John Le Boutillier, in all its multiple facets: father, businessman and politician, with the aim of raising community awareness of the existence and value of its cultural and historical heritage.

Manoir Le Boutillier is an NPO run by a volunteer board of directors and supported by the local community. Although the land and buildings belong to the Ville de Gaspé, the NPO enhances this heritage gem, bringing its history to life and sharing it with all.
Le Manoir Le Boutillier is not just a historic site, it is deeply involved in the community life of L'Anse-au-Griffon and neighboring villages.
Through collaborations such as the organization of Halloween festivities, the Manoir helps families experience magical moments and strengthen social ties. In partnership with local cultural organizations, it promotes Gaspesian culture and actively participates in projects to revitalize the area. Le Manoir works alongside the community to develop promising initiatives and strengthen the social fabric of the La Côte-de-Gaspé RCM, inviting everyone to get involved and rediscover their heritage.
