Podcast Overview

De Downton Abbey aux Jardins de Métis Majordome, femme de chambre, valet de pied, l'Angleterre est bien connue pour ses grandes équipes de domestiques au service de l'aristocratie édouardienne. Ce qui est un peu moins connu toutefois c'est que ce mode de vie à la manière de Downton Abbey existait aussi au Québec chez certaines familles de l'aristocratie anglophone montréalaise du début du siècle dernier. C'était le cas entre autres de l'influente famille Reford. Les Reford sont particulièrement connus au Québec grâce aux magnifiques Jardins de Métis, créés par Elsie Reford pendant l'entre-deux-guerres et admirés encore chaque année par des milliers de visiteurs. Les Jardins de Métis nous propose avec ce balado de découvrir le quotidien de leurs fidèles domestiques. Inspiré par des documents d'archives, ce balado de trois épisodes, nous invite à suivre la correspondance fictive de Simone, femme de chambre nouvellement engagée, dans laquelle elle raconte à sa sœur Jeanine les hauts et les bas de sa nouvelle vie au service des gens riches et célèbres.

Perhaps less well known, however, is the fact that this lifestyle straight out of “Downton Abbey” existed in Quebec as well, among certain wealthy families of English Montreal early in the twentieth century. The influential Refords were one such family. With their fondness for British traditions, Robert W. and Elsie Reford hewed to the customs and habits of the English bourgeoisie in their day-to-day lives, both at their mansion in Montreal’s Golden Square Mile and at Estevan Lodge, their holiday estate at Grand Métis, on the south shore of the St. Lawrence River. Drawing on documents from the archives, this three-episode podcast invites you to share in the fictionalized correspondence between Simone, a newly hired chambermaid, and her sister Jeanine, chronicling the ups and downs of life in the service of the rich and famous.
