CATHERINE’S TOP PICKS

HopEra microbrewery
“I love pizza and different kinds of beers with original flavours. In addition to having a good time around a pizza, I like to attend the Comedy Mondays every other Monday. I always have the best time!”
Distillerie du Fjord
“The Distillerie du Fjord’s terrace in the summer is a really beautiful place, and its indoor guided tour is well worth the visit! I love the place, and they even have a special family package.”
Saguenay Festival des bières du monde
“When I think of this festival, it’s only good memories, I see myself, a drink in hand, singing along with the performing artist’s songs. I’m a big fan of this event, I love the music, the vibes and the culture at this festival.”
ANNE’S TOP PICKS

Les Mômes du Fjord
“I find this place so warm and rustic. It’s a simple restaurant surrounded by nature with a really enchanting setting! Their salted caramel waffles are to die for.”
Le Norvégien outdoor centre
“This mountain biking centre is for everyone and all skill levels. Both families with young children and experienced mountain bikers will find challenges and fun. I really like to treat myself to a beer on their Desjardins terrace after my bike ride.”
La Noce Festival
“I love everything about this festival! The music, the atmosphere, seeing my friends from different cities who come to visit for this event, but I especially like the site of La Pulperie which makes the festival more intimate and gives a certain unique aspect to the event.”
Les Fleurs Maltais
“They have beautiful fields of flowers, depending on the flowering periods. It’s a great place to take photos while enjoying nature and the beauty of the area. On Saturdays in the summer, there is a small farmer’s market in the barn and pizza baked in a stone oven. Delicious!”
ALEXANDRA’S TOP PICKS

Le parc national du Fjord-du-Saguenay
“I love hiking there in the summer or fall. The lookouts are amazing! The view is beautiful, day and night, with the stars as far as the eye can see!”
Bagotville Air Defense Museum
“Among other things, this museum provides you with the opportunity to take the controls of a CF-18 and to experience flight through a virtual reality simulator. It’s a big-time favourite! The outdoor park that showcases the different aircraft models is also really interesting.”
Le Domaine Le Cageot
“It’s a nice place to have a picnic and try out the products. I brought my family there and they all loved the experience! Now they want to go back every year. It’s also the perfect place for wine and agritourism enthusiasts.”
CORINE’S TOP PICKS

Les Navettes maritimes du Fjord
“The Navettes maritimes du Fjord allow you to discover the Saguenay Fjord from a completely different perspective: by sailing along the huge cliff walls and observing nature along the fjord.”
Le Site de la Nouvelle-France
“It’s a real favourite for me. This site allows you to revisit history in a picturesque place, full of history and architecture from the first pioneers.”
MURIEL’S TOP PICKS

Le parc national des Monts-Valin
“I love to contemplate the landscapes while hiking and share time in the countryside with my dogs at the parc national des Monts-Valin. There are so many trails to go down and places to discover!”
Parc Aventures Cap Jaseux
“Just 20 minutes from Saguenay, this park is a must-see, with great hikes and magnificent viewpoints. I recommend stopping at the park’s beach; you’ll get to feel the magical atmosphere.”
Route du Fjord
“If you travel along the Route du Fjord (it’s 235 kilometres), you’ll see almost all the possible views of the majestic Saguenay Fjord and you can stop in the villages, discover their shops and craftsmen, taste local products… That’s the Route du Fjord. My other favourites: the Petit-Saguenay and Sainte-Rose-du-Nord piers, as well as the l’Anse-de-Tabatière lookout.”
