Gaspard-Joseph Chaussegros de Léry sends a letter to France informing the minister of the Marine and the marquise de Vaudreuil that he has completed work on the château Saint-Louis in Québec. It now boasts the only dining room in New France, separate apartments for the governor-general and his wife, and an exterior tower containing a staircase. The château retains its 1724 appearance for the rest of the French colonial regime.
