Abitibi-Témiscamingue is a pioneer region, as vast as France, where boreal forest and lakes dominate as far as the eye can see. Val-d'Or and Rouyn-Noranda are its main cities, born of the gold rush and mining industry that shaped the regional identity. Over 20,000 lakes and rivers make this region an eldorado for fishing, canoeing and hunting. The Algonquin culture, long present on this territory, enriches visitors' experiences through authentic encounters and ancestral knowledge.
