The friendly atmosphere, the diversity of wines and the chance to meet passionate people make it a unique and unmissable event. It's a perfect time to discover, share and savor, all in a warm setting in the heart of the Saguenay."

Combining artisan know-how, passion and respect for the boreal terroir, it's the ideal place to taste authentic products, visit the cheese factory and enjoy a unique gourmet experience in the heart of the countryside."

Beluga stopover - Fjord-du-Saguenay national park, Baie-Sainte-Marguerite sector
"I love the 3 km hike along Baie-Sainte-Marguerite in the Parc national du Fjord-du-Saguenay to the Halte du Béluga, a beluga whale nursery in the heart of the fjord! The recent renovation has made this place of observation and scientific research truly exceptional. I'll never tire of admiring these magnificent marine mammals in their natural environment
Center plein air Bec-scie
"I love the forest scenery at Centre plein air Bec-scie. It includes the magnificent Rivière-à-Mars canyon with its various footbridges. The rest stop near the dam remains one of my favorite places to take a little break in the middle of my hike."
Sophie's favorites
Fjord en Kayak
"For me, being on the water is one of the best ways to really see and experience the fjord. The capes are so impressive when seen from your kayak. The company offers excursions for all tastes, and the experienced guides put us at ease from start to finish. It's an authentic, immersive and unmissable experience to discover the fjord in a different way."
Le Saint-Sapin/Les Jardins de Sophie
« Le Saint-Sapin is for me the ultimate country-style culinary experience and a must in the region. Set directly on the grounds of Les Jardins de Sophie, the farm-to-table concept really comes into its own. The view of the gardens and the fjord is more than exceptional, it's downright magical. The atmosphere is always warm, the service impeccable, and every plate showcases local produce."

Les Grands Crus Musicaux
"The Grands Crus Musicaux festival is an unmissable event for music lovers. The festival offers high-quality concerts featuring talented local and international artists in an intimate, immersive atmosphere. Offering a unique musical experience in the heart of the Old Port of Chicoutimi, Saguenay. I love vibrating to the sound of the singers and musicians on stage!"
