It is one of the most beautiful places in the eastern region of Quebec with calm waters and scenic nature. Set in the middle of the Laurentian Sheild (the oldest soil on earth), the romantic region is near the shore of the St. Lawrence River where salt and unsalted water meet - six different species of migratory whales live here too. It is the perfect place for kayaking enthusiasts and other water related activities.
