Reservation follow-up

On making a reservation, you will receive an automatic e-mail acknowledgement from the Château Ramezay.

We must be informed of any change in the number of visitors, whether more or less, at least three days prior to your visit.

Payment

No payment is necessary at the time of the reservation.

Unless we are advised to the contrary, an invoice will be e-mailed to you following your visit.

If you prefer to pay on the day of your visit, please note that we accept any of the following: cash, debit cards, Visa or Mastercard and commercial (not personal) cheques.

There is a minimum charge of 10 people for all group reservations.

Cancellation Policy

There is no penalty for cancellations received at least 10 working days prior to the date of your planned visit.

For cancellations less than 10 days before your visit, a charge of 50 % of your reservation will be imposed for reservations made between July and February and 100 %, for reservations made between March and June.

On Arrival

Buses may unload children on Notre-Dame St. in front of the Château. While the visit is in progress, they can park on St. Antoine St West, opposite the City Hall, or in the Old Port (paid parking).

We request you arrive 10 minutes before activities begin so that the visit can get underway promptly. Tardiness may necessitate a change to the proposed program (shortening or eliminating one or several activities, depending on the situation).

Please arrive by the main entrance of the Château. Students will enter the building in three small groups, each consisting of 10 children (maximum). We strongly suggest students be divided into sub-groups before you arrive. Please note that groups may be modified on arrival at the Château. We request you to spread potentially disruptive students among the different groups unless you wish to keep them under your direct supervision throughout the visit.

Children may leave their coats at the coat-check before setting off for the starting point, accompanied by their guide.

At the reception desk, those responsible for the group will be asked to confirm the number of students present by initializing the confirmation sheet.

Food

Unfortunately, we lack the space to allow groups to eat inside. Snacks must be eaten before students enter the Château. Weather permitting, groups can take advantage of the picnic tables on the Place de la Dauversière, beside the Château, as well as in the Old Port.
