New Series of photography about one of the most older park in North America... Park LaSalle, Lachine, Montreal Little bit history... (Robert Cavelier-de-LaSalle) 1643-1687 Born in Normandie (France), Robert Cavelier-de-La Salle arrived in New France in 1667 hoping to become rich. He started by acquiring seigniorial land from the Sulpicians. In time, the property earned the sarcastic moniker of La Chine because of La Salles obsession with finding a passage to China. The trading post La Salle established on his property became known as Fort Rémy (Lachine). In 1669, La Salle sold his land to finance an expedition. He was killed by the members of his crew in 1687 in what is now known as Texas. Lachine is filled with enchanting possibilities!
