Dreamy archipelago, a haven of peace

Composed of a dozen islands, some of which are connected, the archipelago's long sandy beaches embrace the lapping waves of the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Light-coloured dunes, rounded green hills, ochre cliffs and brightly painted houses stand out against an intense blue backdrop. This incomparable setting, the perfect place to enjoy a swim or a hike on foot or by bicycle or horseback. Atop its welcoming waters, explore the archipelago's coves and capes by kayak or inflatable raft. Its shallow bays and lagoons, caressed by the sea winds, are sheer paradise for kitesurfers and windsurfers.
