Giroux House.

The Giroux House, photographed in the hamlet of Bignon, in Révillon, in the former Perche Province, is where Toussaint Giroux was born, and he inherited this house upon the death of his parents. On October 22, 1670, Giroux and his wife, Marie Godard sold it to Charles Turgeon, an habitant from Beauport. The farmer who described it to the royal notary Romain Becquet, says the Perche house was surrounded with « garden, a small enclosure and about two arpents of a little tillable land. Â» (Clio de 9 à 5 Collection, photo : Charles Danay.)
