Tadoussac, Yo!

An historic and environmentally important site, Tadoussac was for centuries a gathering ground for Indigenous peoples, and later, for the European settlers who came to trade with them. It is uniquely positioned at the mouth of the Saguenay Fjord and at the extreme end of an underwater canyon in the St. Lawrence, which makes it an ideal feeding ground for the several different marine species that visit every summer. Because of this, the area around Tadoussac has been designated one of the five Canadian Marine Conservation Areas.
