Places of Interest

Havre-St-Pierre

This quaint town on the north shore of the St Lawrence river was first inhabited by people from the Magdalen Islands in the 19th Century, and therefore the locals speak a different dialect of French to other Quebec residents. The Mingan archipelago, a collection of limestown monoliths are a main attraction as are the minke whales who call this town home.

Places of Interest

Mingan Archipelago

Iles de la Madeleine

Composed of a dozen islands, some of which are connected, the archipelago’s long sandy beaches embrace the lapping waves of the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Light-coloured dunes, rounded green hills, ochre cliffs and brightly painted houses stand out against an intense blue backdrop. This incomparable setting, the perfect place to enjoy a swim or a hike (on foot or by bicycle or horseback), is an invitation to relax and enjoy the good life. Atop its welcoming waters, explore the archipelago’s coves and capes by kayak or inflatable raft. Its shallow bays and lagoons, caressed by the sea winds, are sheer paradise for kitesurfers and windsurfers.

Halifax

Halifax, capital of Nova Scotia, has considerable charms. The beautifully restored waterfront buildings recall the city's centuries-old maritime heritage. Halifax is also the gateway to Nova Scotia's picturesque landscapes and rugged natural beauty.
