Kamouraska

A Real Atmosphere of Yesteryear

Kamouraska, which means “where there is rush by the water” in Amerindian, is truly the most authentic area of the Bas-Saint-Laurent region. The road that stretches along the St. Lawrence River and the promenades along the shore will surely astonish you. The landscapes displaying fertile plains and farms invite you to taste the delicious regional products like the bread made by the Boulangerie Niemand. The ancestral houses, for their part, will take you a few centuries in the past, especially the Maison des Chapais.

The cultural heritage of this area is extremely rich, and this is why you can visit so many museums, like the Musée regional de Kamouraska and the Site d’interprétation de l’anguille. Inside these museums, you can learn more about the fascinating history of this region. You will also learn about the tide phenomenon, you can fish for eel, visit the flourmills, sawmills and tanneries, or climb the world renowned cliffs. During your stay in Kamouraska, ride along the cycling paths to fully enjoy the outdoors.
