Located in the St. Lawrence River Estuary, Parc national du Bic proudly showcases its capes, bays, coves, islands, and mountains, which have contributed to its celebrity. Think of the sounds and smells of the sea or the sensation of the ocean breeze, and imagine a breathtaking sunset considered to be one of the world's finest. The park's atmosphere is one of peace and tranquility. Thousands of seabirds, including the common eider, come to nest in the park, and rare plants bloom on its rocky capes. Seals delight visitors as they bask in the sun near the shore. The ocean, wooded areas and meadows await you on the banks of the St. Lawrence Estuary. Come live this one-of-a-kind experience on the edge of the St. Lawrence River.

The common seal of the Saint Lawrence Estuary is presently very much at risk. This is why an action plan ensuring its protection has been initiated by the Common Seal Issue Table, which groups together 11 partners, including the Réseau d'observation des mammifères marins and the Parc national du Bic. This park is home to a population of approximately 150 seals, and plays an important role in the protection of this species and visitor awareness. Action Plan (pdf : 2,9 mo) (in French only)
