Tourist Directory

The Lower St. Lawrence stretches over 300 kilometres along the majestic river, offering grand views of the water, its islands and tides. Rimouski is the regional capital, but small villages like Kamouraska and L'Isle-Verte often steal the show with their colourful wooden homes and historic lighthouses. The region is known for its generous local produce: Kamouraska lamb, ciders and artisan cheeses. In winter, the estuary freezes over, creating landscapes of austere beauty.
