The tourist area of North Shore

Space and Extremes !

Forests of larch, birch and aspen as far as the eye can see.

Lakes and rivers where fish abound.

Islands, both magnificent and awesome.

Man's achievements as big as the territory, such as the power dams.

Huge blue whales that haunt the waters of the St. Lawrence River, accompanied by its kind: seals, belugas and white porpoises.

And the St. Lawrence River, the world's oldest river, so impressive and where it is not unusual to observe the smooth passing by of an iceberg in July, detached by the melting of polar ice.

City of Tadoussac

The town of Tadoussac is the gate-way to the North Shore, neighbouring the areas of Charlevoix and Saguenay Lac Saint-Jean. One reaches the area by boat:

North-West on the Newfoundland/Blanc-Sablons ferry boat

South-West on the Baie-Sainte-Catherine/Tadoussac ferry boat

Some sectors are accessible only by plane.

North Shore is divided into 2 main sectors: Manicouagan and Duplessis.
