When and who to pay?
The welcome tax is paid only once, to the Cidade de Rigaud. The bill arrives a few weeks after the deed of sale is registered. Include this amount in your budget, along with the down payment and the notary's fees. If the municipal assessment (multiplied by the comparative factor) is higher than the price paid, that amount is used for the calculation.

A place of pilgrimage
In 1874, Brother Ludger Pauzé, a Saint-Viateur cleric at the Collège Bourget, placed a small statue of Our Lady of Lourdes in a crevice of Mont Rigaud; the open-air shrine that grew from it now offers a grotto, chapels and a view of the region. Developed trails lead to the champ des guérets, the field of rounded stones that feeds the local legend.
