In July 1760, a decisive battle was fought on the Restigouche River estuary at the western end of the Baie des Chaleurs. That battle, called the Battle of the Restigouche, would decide the fate of New France itself. Indeed, the battle would prove to be the last engagement between English and French forces over territory in North America in the long conflict known in the history books as the Seven Years War.
Today, the site of the battle is known as the Battle of the Restigouche National Historic Site. An interpretive centre located on Route 132 in Pointe-à-la-Croix, Quebec features artifacts recovered from the site, displays and a film about the battle, and a 1:32 scale model of the 18th century frigate The Machault. In the summer, costumed interpreters portray the Acadians, Micmaq, sailors and French soldiers who participated in the 1760 battle.
