Find your red chair moment… at Port-Royal!
Port-Royal National Historic Site
We saved you a seat! There is one set of Parks Canada red chairs to find at Port-Royal National Historic Site.
Visit the Habitation, then enjoy some quiet time in the red chairs as you take in the spectacular view of the Annapolis River and Basin — the same view that inspired Samuel de Champlain’s dream a long time ago. When Samuel de Champlain wrote these words in the early 1600s, he knew he had found a special place:
“…this place was the most suitable and pleasant for a settlement that we had seen.”
How to find the red chairs at Port-Royal National Historic Site
Find them near the shore, just past the Samuel de Champlain monument.

Parks Canada’s red chairs: where it all started
In 2011, our friends at Gros Morne National Park came up with the idea to place sets of Adirondack chairs in lesser-known, stunning locations around the park, inviting visitors to enjoy and share on social media. Today, the iconic red chairs can be found in over 100 locations administered by Parks Canada.
Lightbulb Did you know?
The Parks Canada red chairs are made from 100% recycled plastic saved from Canadian landfills.
