Stopped here on our return trip home from the Maritimes, in this small community of Temiscouata, just 1-2 kms from the Trans-Canada Highway (blue sign on highway for Fromagerie Le Detour clearly marked). Once off the highway, look for the bright yellow & white stand-alone building! Very clean & quaint food boutique; pleasant staff; huge selection of various cheese made & packaged on the premises; various patés, baguettes, ice cream & nice outdoor patio to sit & relax in quiet surroundings. They also have a very interesting selection of food products prepared by various distributors i.e. Mason jars of chutneys, vegetables, relishes & herbes salées (salted herbs perfect for adding to soups, stews, casseroles, etc.). My main purpose for stopping in was to pick up some of their amazing cheese curds which I had purchased here two years … once again, the curds were fresh, tasty & just as amazing! Very easy & quick to access highway at next on-ramp!

If you love moody vibes and beautiful scenery, this park is for you. So many hikes to chose from, easy to difficult, low trails or high trails. My family and & I hiked the Cap a l’original and it was wonderful. You do need to pay attention to the low and high tides as this trails is on the shore of the beach most of the time and then you climb up a huge rock at some point towards the end. To know when you can start the trail due to the low or high tide, either check the website as stated on the park’s website or ask the staff. From my understanding, the tide is lower in the early morning hours and once in the afternoon. Need good shoes and water. Enjoy:)
4. Site historique de la maison Lamontagne
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 32 reviews
The Site historique de la maison Lamontagne is an historical site and museal institution depicting the Nouvelle-France era, the architecture and the life of its inhabitants. The Lamontagne House is an historic building classified by the Ministère de la culture et des communications of Québec.

Leading up to the house itself, were educational English/French information panels on the building practices through the eras ending with the construction method used for the Lamontagne house. The costumed guides were friendly, knowledgeable and during the Covid-19 re-opening, extremely respectful of precautions. One guide a 10 minute presentation on the history of the time and explained the background of the house; bravo to her as it was clear and done well! The house itself had information in French only. However, we are bilingual and did not have a problem. Extremely well-done, learned a lot, and worth the stop. There are steep stairs to the second floor of the house; something to be aware of.

The Canyon des Portes de l'Enfer (hell's gate canyon) in Saint-Narcisse-de-Rimouski begins with the Grand Sault waterfall and stretches nearly five miles between steep and narrow rock walls up to 90 metres high. A network of easy-to-intermediate hiking trails, from 1 to 14 kilometres, leads to stunning panoramic views and a 63-metre high suspended footbridge, the highest in Quebec. Experience the descent to hell's gate: 300 steps leading down to the Riviere Rimouski - and back up again!At the far end of the trail system is the Chaud waterfall, another 20-metre cascade.A restaurant, a one-star campground and a 8.5-Kilometre bike path are also available for visitors to this magnificent natural site.

We had a great time hiking these trails. The views from many of the "belvederes" (look-outs) were great. Walking the bridge gave nice views in both directions. We didn't find the stairs to be a challenge however some of the rest of the trails were somewhat steep and there is a LOT of up and down. We were both very happy to have had our hiking boots on. We had lunch down next to the river sitting on the many rocks. It's amazing how many Inukshuk's there are down there. Definitely recommended by us however those with young children may not want to do some of the trails. Perhaps to the bridge and back and not down to the river level via the stairs and likely not the entire loop trail. Obviously that would depend upon the age and hiking ability of your kids.

Ever wondered what it was like to live months at a time in a submarine in such tight and restricted quarters? A hideous machine, when you really think about it, but fascinating when you see the complexity of it. While the Oberon-class Onandaga is a Canadian post-world war II vessel, our thoughts went back to the devastation many of these boats have caused during the war, yet we couldn't help being touched by the courage and commitment of the men who served under these conditions. Indeed, the 45-minute audio-guide reveals some interesting aspects of their day-to-day lives on board. I would not have wanted to miss it. The museum next door tells the story of the tragic collision of the once-elegant ocean liner, The Empress of Ireland, used primarily to transport European immigrants from England to Canada in the early years of the 20th century. The carefully assembled and restored artifacts and some touching eye-witness accounts of survivors bring to life the sinking and the heroic rescue efforts of this greatest maritime disaster in Canadian history. If there is a historic site worth visiting, this is the one. It would be a good idea to set aside at least 1 to 1 1/2 hours for both, the museum and the viewing of the beautifully made film, and to bear in mind that there can be some relatively short waiting times, for the film in particular.
