[EN IMAGES] A Quebec home beautifully preserved by its previous owners

The François-Xavier-Garneau house in Quebec gives the impression that time has stood still at the beginning of the 20th century. When you go there, you might think that a middle-class family still lives here, who went to do some shopping for a few minutes. Its new owner, Pierre Karl Péladeau, wants to open it to the public in order to share this little-known heritage and cultural treasure with as many people as possible.
