Passionate about poetry, the lawyer received, among others, Gilles Vigneault, Pauline Julien and F\u00e9lix Leclerc, who was a regular of the place. In 1949, Charles Trenet, the &#8220;singing madman&#8221;, arrived there to give a concert that the little history of the place would not soon forget. Three years later, in Trenet&#8217;s footsteps lay the heels of the American artist Bing Crosby, who had set out a tour of Canada. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped columns-2 wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In the 1950\u2019s, the heart of Val-Menaud beat to the rhythm of the singers, poets and artists who performed there to the delight of the people from Saguenay (Saguen\u00e9ens) who had never seen such great ones so closely. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is also in these places that Ren\u00e9 Gagnon, Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Brassard and Riopelle painted, in the art center of the Manoir Bor\u00e9al Val-Menaud, created by Larouche, who was also a lover of the arts. The history of the place is therefore strongly associated with culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Manoir Bor\u00e9al was destroyed by fire in 1965. However, the memory of that time is still very much alive. And it is in the same place that is now erected the residence that hosts K\u00e4 Galerie and it is quite a pride to revive the cultural memory in these places! and it is quite a pride to revive the cultural memory in these places!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Special thanks to Marie Gagnon for the story and images.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"699\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"1313\" src=\"https:\/\/kagalerie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Fe\u0301lix-Leclerc-699x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1313\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kagalerie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Fe\u0301lix-Leclerc-699x1024.jpg 699w, https:\/\/kagalerie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Fe\u0301lix-Leclerc-273x400.jpg 273w, https:\/\/kagalerie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Fe\u0301lix-Leclerc-768x1125.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kagalerie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Fe\u0301lix-Leclerc-480x703.jpg 480w, https:\/\/kagalerie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Fe\u0301lix-Leclerc-400x586.jpg 400w, https:\/\/kagalerie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Fe\u0301lix-Leclerc-600x879.jpg 600w, https:\/\/kagalerie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Fe\u0301lix-Leclerc.jpg 932w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 699px) 100vw, 699px\" \/><figcaption>F\u00e9lix Leclerc, photo de Jac Guy<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>K\u00e4 Galerie took place in a residence rich in a cultural past.
