La Pocatière – Rivière-du-Loup – Saint-Siméon – Tadoussac
The Escapade is ideal if you have relatively little time to spend in Québec. Take advantage of your stay in Bas-Saint-Laurent to discover the talent hidden in the coastal villages in the Kamouraska area. You can also head inland to spend some time in the Témiscouata area.
On foot, by bike or in a canoe, discover the magnificent scenery in Parc national du Lac-Témiscouata, in this beautiful area of Canada.
In Rivière-du-Loup, set off to explore the nearby islands and admire exceptional marine and bird life.
While you are crossing the St. Lawrence by ferry from Rivière-du-Loup to Saint-Siméon, keep your eyes peeled and you may spot seals or whales! Note that reservations are required for groups and buses.
Once in Saint-Siméon, on the north shore of the St. Lawrence, it is worth your while to drive to Tadoussac, which is only 40 kilometres (25 miles) east. Every year, this popular Côte-Nord destination welcomes tourists from all over the world who come to observe the whales, explore the Saguenay Fjord by boat and enjoy the festive atmosphere found in one of Québec’s most beautiful villages.
