    The Manoir Jacques Cartier is a 16th-century country house located in the Rothéneuf district of Saint-Malo, in Brittany. It is the only heritage of Jacques Cartier, the discoverer of Canada in 1534. This great explorer of the Renaissance opened to France the North American continent through the Saint-Laurent River. He bought this manor house in 1541, for his third and last journey, and transformed it into a summer residence with a tower and a room overlooking the sea. He died without heir in 1557 and was buried in the cathedral of Saint-Malo. The mansion then became a farm again and only became a museum dedicated to Jacques Cartier in 1984. The museum displays the daily life and travels of the famous explorer, as well as artifacts and documents from that time. The manor is owned by the Conservatoire du littoral and has been registered as a historical monument since 1940.
