Known as one of Quebec’s most picturesque cities, Saguenay presents the perfect balance of options for visitors: a lively urban center to immerse oneself in local customs and a sprawling natural landscape for a retreat into the great outdoors.
It’s home to the spectacular Sanguenay Fjord, which has been ranked, alongside the Eiffel Tower and the Egyptian pyramids, as one of the world’s must-see attractions.
It stretches for over 140 miles, offering sweeping views and opportunities for hiking, camping, climbing, fishing, and kayaking.
However, if none of those things tickle your fancy, the Musée du Fjord is a great place to visit instead. It offers insight into the area’s history and features an aquarium with over 600 marine species, as well as engaging multimedia exhibits and 3-D films that provide unusual facts about the area’s plant and animal life.
Of course, this is just a small sample of what Sanguenay has to offer. If you would like to find out more, keep reading for a list of all there is to do here
