Between Nature and Excess

The shores of the St. Lawrence River are among the province’s most popular destinations. Yet, far away on the river’s north shore lies the Côte-Nord, a region that attracts relatively few tourists despite its breathtaking natural heritage.

We invite you to explore the area, starting from Tadoussac—the gateway to the North Shore—which will take you along the river all the way to Baie-Comeau. Like its neighbor in the Charlevoix region, this area is known for its valleys, which you’ll tackle in the same way as the first settlers who inhabited these lands in the 16th century.

Hard work brings its own rewards, and yours will be repaid many times over, with access to secluded panoramic views whose untamed majesty will make you forget the day’s elevation gain!

Now it's your turn to discover why the region's motto is "Between Nature and Exuberance"!
