From Tadoussac and Sacré-Coeur to Blanc-Sablon, passing through Fermont, the Côte-Nord is a region of grandeur and breathtaking nature. In addition to hosting the Daniel-Johnson Dam, the largest multi-arch-and-buttress dam in the world, and the Mingan Archipelago, home to the highest concentration of monoliths in Canada, the Côte-Nord is renowned as one of the best places in the world to observe whales in the St. Lawrence. The region is also an extraordinary playground for outdoor and nature enthusiasts: hiking, sea kayaking, wildlife observation and ice fishing are just a few of the activities to enjoy during a stay in the region or on a road trip.
