Depuis que je suis tout petit, je passe mes vacances dans le Bas-du-Fleuve. C’est un coin que je connais par cœur, un endroit paisible au bord du fleuve qui fait partie de ma vie. Les marches à marée basse, les expéditions aux Îlets d’Amours, les festins de fruits de mer, l’air salin et les couchers de soleil de niveau wow font partie de mes plus beaux souvenirs… et j’espère que ce lieu pourra faire partie des vôtres aussi 💛

Overview

About

From atop Pointe-au-Père lighthouse, the St. Lawrence appears even more magnificent than at ground level. On the shore of what is considered one of the most difficult waterways to navigate, the Pointe-au-Père navigational aid station has provided the best pilots to take charge of ships sailing between North America and Europe, making it a vital site. As well, it was also off Pointe-au-Père that the grand cruise ship, the Empress of Ireland, tragically sank in 1914.
