Abitibi-Témiscamingue
Extraordinary adventures on land and sea
Duplessis is a coast sprinkled with bays and coves, craggy islets, forests as far as the eye can see, and plenty of rivers and lakes. Here, the immensely wide Gulf of St. Lawrence is omnipresent. The salt water is a popular playground for fin whales, sperm whales and other whale species! Like a string of pearls, little villages dot the Basse-Côte-Nord—most of which are accessible only by boat. That's because the road ends in Natashquan! In this world beyond compare, fishermen, hunters, snowmobilers and sports enthusiasts can enjoy a change of scenery at every turn.
Breathtaking nature
Île d'Anticosti, the largest island in Québec (surface area of 8,000 km²/3,088 sq. mi.) is paradise for white-tailed deer hunters. The savage beauty of the cliffs, canyons, falls and rivers in the national park captivates tourists. The Mingan Archipelago National Park Reserve of Canada offers unique landscapes with gigantic, spectacularly shaped monoliths where large colonies of puffins and marine birds dwell. The Réserve faunique de Port-Cartier-Sept-Îles, with over 1,000 bodies of water and some 15 rivers in the heart of the boreal forest, is the ideal location for sport fishermen—the waters are swarming with brook trout and salmon.Arctic experiences
Harrington Harbour village, a fishing port with less than 300 residents, is located on an island near Newfoundland. Charming tiny painted houses and wooden boardwalks stand out against the backdrop of tundra and icebergs. In Fermont, an iron-mining town, one of the largest strip mines in North America is open to the public. An ingenious protective wall surrounds this northern town, sheltering it from winter's harsh weather. For those really interested in discovering the vast territory of Duplessis, take part in some ecotourism activities, and learn from those who know it best—the aboriginals who have lived there for centuries.Drink in the impressive landscape in Duplessis!
