A year after research was halted in 1993, Projet Éole became Canada's first wind power interpretation center. Since 2019, under the leadership of a new, young and dynamic administration, the site has been completely restored to offer a seamless, diverse, and enjoyable visit that will appeal to everyone. The retro-industrial look of the power plant will take you back in time!

Project Éole is managed by the Éole Foundation, a charitable organization whose ambition is to enable all generations to discover, understand and take ownership of renewable energy as a lever for autonomy, innovation and resilience for the benefit of all.

Very nice experience. We arrived on site with little expectations, but Benjamin was able to captivate our attention with his relevant and clear explanations concisely explaining the history of the Éole project. I recommend … More greatly to wait and listen to the guide's explanations which makes the visit much more pleasant and interactive.

If you are in the Cap-Chat area, Project Eole is definitely worth the detour! Very interesting museum. We learned a lot about wind energy. It is possible to see a wind turbine up close. The guides are very knowledgeable … More of the subject and will have a lot to teach you Thank you!
