key facts tips and tricks
The Fjord Route is a new tourist circuit that brings you some of the best scenic views as you make your way to one of Québec’s loveliest villages.
 
To plumb the deepest secrets of the fjord, head off on the Saguenay–St. Lawrence Marine Park’s Discovery Network: a visitor’s itinerary of trails, isles, protected lands and interpretation centres.
 
Parc national du Saguenay has three distinct sections: Baie-Éternité and its immense rock face, Baie-du-Moulin-à-Baude and its fragile dunes, and Baie-Sainte-Marguerite and its amiable belugas.
If you opt for a discovery cruise on the fjord, you can choose between a short outing and a half-day excursion. These cruises often feature stops in the main places of interest.
 
Make the Musée du Fjord the starting point of your stay. Interaction and discovery are on the menu as the museum presents—with great originality—the region’s most spectacular sights and intriguing natural wonders.
 
The story of two important eras in Québec’s history unfolds at the New France Site. Accompanied by colourful historical characters in a meticulously restored period setting, experience life in New France as you discover the Aboriginal customs and colonial culture of the 17th century.
