Here we have a clock of the New France era. Below it is a medal, a Croix of St. Louis.
Other household items and furnishings are on display.
A large mural wraps around here.
Over time, the French language in the New World would move in its own direction from that of the Old World, both in the New France era and afterwards.
Interesting. Always love to see how people lived back then.
ReplyDeleteInteresting. I am fascinated by the evolution of a language.
ReplyDeleteThe wooden chair on the right in the 3rd photo looks like the school chair many years ago. Nice mural and interesting exhibits.
ReplyDeleteGostei do relógio.
ReplyDeleteUm abraço e continuação de uma boa semana.

Language always evolves and differences in dialects and local words and phrases are formed. Absolute uniformity would be quite dull, eh?
ReplyDeleteTanto los muebles y el reloj, manifiestan una época, así como su esplendor.
ReplyDeleteUnusually for your posts I can't make out most of what's written on the displays. The exhibits look interesting.
