Bread Oven Demonstration at the Moulin des Jésuites: Free Old-Fashioned Baking
Moulin des Jésuites de Charlesbourg
On Saturday, September 26, 2026, from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m., the Moulin des Jésuites de Charlesbourg will light its outdoor bread oven for a free demonstration as part of the Journées de la culture. Visitors can observe old-fashioned baking and everyone can bake their own small loaf of bread, brought ready to bake; during baking, participants churn their own butter. The activity is aimed at children aged 7 to 12 accompanied by an adult, and free tickets must be reserved online. In case of bad weather, the event may be cancelled (sources: moulindesjesuites.org and Québec animée, consulted on September 7, 2026). Note: from August 17 to October, enhancement work is being done on the Moulin's gardens; parking and nearby streets remain accessible during the work, according to the Moulin. Voilà Québec's tip: the 1740 mill is the heart of the Trait-Carré, the historic core of Charlesbourg. Our listing for the Moulin des Jésuites de Charlesbourg provides the site's schedule; on the same weekend, the Journées de la culture offer free admission to dozens of locations in Quebec City.
