Île d'Orléans (Island Tour, Chemin Royal)
Cradle of several founding French-Canadian families, Île d'Orléans offers, just fifteen minutes from Québec City, a journey back in time through six traditional villages, orchards, vineyards, and market gardens.
Pointe-à-la-Renommée Lighthouse
Perched on a mountainside with a spectacular sea view, the Pointe-à-la-Renommée lighthouse holds the distinction of being Québec's most-travelled lighthouse, repatriated to its original site in 1997 after twenty years of exile in Québec City.
Mont-Joli and the Matapédia Valley
A point of convergence between the maritime route along the St. Lawrence and the inland Matapédia Valley, this green corridor dotted with renowned salmon rivers and farming villages offers a scenic alternative to Gaspésie's coastal cliffs.
Murdochville and the Mont Miller Lookout
A former mining town founded in 1951 around copper extraction, Murdochville has reinvented itself as a wind-energy hub and offers, from the Mont Miller lookout, one of the most complete panoramas over the Chic-Chocs range and the Gulf of St. Lawrence.
Notre-Dame-du-Portage
A resort municipality next to Rivière-du-Loup, Notre-Dame-du-Portage is prized for its sandy beach, heated saltwater pool, and landscaped parks offering views of the river and its islands.
Île Verte and Its Lighthouse
The only year-round inhabited island on the St. Lawrence in this stretch, Île Verte is home to the river's oldest still-operating lighthouse, reachable on foot via a natural ice bridge in winter—a quirk that delights curious visitors every year.
Matane (Lighthouse and Salmon Migratory Pass)
A port town known for its cold-water shrimp, Matane offers the unique opportunity to watch, from a migratory fish pass built at the foot of a dam, Atlantic salmon swimming upstream to spawn.
Fjord Cruises and Maritime Shuttles
Linking several fjord-side villages from June to September, cruises and maritime shuttles offer a unique perspective on the Saguenay's cliffs, inaccessible by road along several stretches of the route.
Tadoussac and the Saguenay–St. Lawrence Marine Park
Canada's first fur-trading post, established in 1600, and renowned as one of the world's most beautiful bays, Tadoussac is the essential gateway to the Whale Route and the starting point for most estuary whale-watching cruises.
Cap-de-Bon-Désir Interpretation and Observation Centre
Just 30 metres from shore, a 200-metre-deep underwater wall draws whales close to this Parks Canada–operated site, one of Québec's best spots for watching cetaceans from dry land.
Daniel-Johnson Dam and Manic-5 Power Station
The world's largest multiple-arch buttress dam, 214 metres high and 1,314 metres wide at the crest, this symbol of Québec's Quiet Revolution can be toured free of charge by reservation, at the heart of the spectacular inland Côte-Nord territory.
La Cité de l'énergie
A museum complex unique in Canada, built on the site of former power stations and aluminum plants, this site combines a 115-metre observation tower, a multimedia show, and a guided tour of historic hydroelectric power stations, some still partly operational.
Baie-du-Febvre Interpretation Centre
Founded in 1994 on the shore of Lac Saint-Pierre, this centre lets visitors discreetly watch, from a blind tunnel, the snow geese, Canada geese, and dabbling ducks that flood the floodplain, complemented by interpretive exhibits on this exceptional migratory phenomenon.
Borgot Lighthouse (L'Étang-du-Nord Lighthouse)
Standing atop Cap Hérissé after a cliff-lined coastal walk, this iconic L'Étang-du-Nord lighthouse offers one of the archipelago's most popular vantage points for watching the sunset over the Gulf of St. Lawrence.
Entry Island (Île d'Entrée)
The only inhabited island of the archipelago not linked to the rest of the territory by land, this island of untouched nature rises to the summit of Big Hill, the highest point in the Îles-de-la-Madeleine at 174 metres, offering a 360-degree panorama over the whole archipelago.
Grande-Entrée, Québec's Lobster Capital
Designated Québec's lobster capital since 1994 and home to more than a hundred lobster boats, this fishing community offers, via the Île Boudreau trail, one of the archipelago's finest panoramas as well as a seal colony visible from shore.
Pointe-de-l'Est National Wildlife Area
A major migratory stopover home to a dune ecosystem unique in Québec, this national reserve with eight kilometres of interpretive trails protects rare bird species such as the piping plover and the Atlantic puffin, beside the seemingly endless Grande Échouerie beach.
Radisson and the James Bay Interpretation Centre
The northernmost locality reachable via the Billy-Diamond Highway, this village offers an interpretation centre on the region's natural and human environments, as well as an exceptionally clear night sky ideal for watching the northern lights.
Cree Communities of James Bay
Spread along the eastern shore of James Bay, these millennia-old Cree communities offer, through guided boat excursions such as those run by Wiinipaakw Tours, an authentic immersion in Eeyou culture and the chance to observe belugas, polar bears, and seals in their natural habitat.
Kuujjuarapik and Whapmagoostui
Nunavik's southernmost twin community, where an Inuit village and a Cree village coexist at the mouth of the Great Whale River, this site offers a rare chance to observe the distinct cohabitation of two Indigenous nations united by the 1975 James Bay Agreement.
Train de Charlevoix
Running along the St. Lawrence River for 125 kilometres between Québec City and La Malbaie, this rail cruise reveals through its panoramic windows the villages clinging to the cliffs of Charlevoix, offering a perspective unreachable by road.
