Noel Simard dit Lobrette is the son of Pierre Simard and Suzanne Durand. He emigrated to Quebec in 1654. Noel married Marie Madeleine Racine on 22 November 1661, in Chateau-Richer.

Noel and his father purchased land, in 1667. Within a short time though, he and Madeleine (who was only 30), had nine children. They were unable to finish paying off the debt of the property, so Monsignor Laval, the first Bishop of Quebec, paid the debt off for them. Noel and his family moved to Baie Saint-Paul to help Monsignor Laval make lands that he own to become productive and profitable.

Noel oversaw the property and was able to keep half of the animals born from the herd he maintained, and the rest went to Monsignor Laval. Noel was granted his own land in 1679, and so he became well established in Baie Saint-Paul. He had four more children as well.

Noel died of an epidemic that had spread quickly up the coast, at the age of 78. There is a monument to Noel Simard, Madeleine Racine, and their daughter Rosalie Simard, who was the first child of French origin born in Baie Saint-Paul.
