Welcome to
the site of Tourisme Baie-Sainte-Catherine Tadoussac Charlevoix! |
The Tadoussac-Baie-Sainte-Catherine region is composed of little
villages well hidden at the feet of the mountains, at the
confluence of the Saguenay and the Saint-Lawrence River.
With its strong
historical roots, Baie-Ste-Catherine is the place where
colonization got its start in North America, the very cradle of
the New World, thanks to the alliance concluded in 1603 at the
Pointe-Aux-Alouettes in Baie-Ste-Catherine between the
Montagnais, the Algonquins, the Malicites and none other than
Samuel de Champlain who offered the help of his military against
the Iroquois against the right to populate the area.

Everything in this region is exceptional, from the little lake
in the heart of the village of Tadoussac to the many century old
houses, from the sand dunes to the majestic Saguenay Fjord,
unique in its kind, last relic of the passing of a gigantic
glacier more than 10,000 years ago. |
Tadoussac-Baie-Sainte-Catherine is the doorway to the Côte-Nord
(the North Shore), and the impressive bay where it lies got the
region the right to become part of the Club Select des Plus
Belles Baies du Monde (The Most Beautiful Bays of the World
Select Club). |
 |
For more than
a century already, the Tadoussac-Baie-Sainte-Catherine region
has had the reputation of being a most preferred tourist area in
North America, and it greets thousands of visitors each year.
|
| All
of the road traffic between the Côte Nord and the rest of the
Province of Quebec transits through the
Tadoussac-Baie-Sainte-Catherine ferry boat. For a special trip
through time and history, board a cruise on board Croisière
2001, and visit the Tadoussac-Baie-Sainte-Catherine region |
