Regional Flag Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean is the only region in Québec that has its own flag since 1938. The colours represent different elements that define the region. The leafy green at the top represents the immensity of the forests; the golden yellow at the bottom, agriculture; the grey in the cross section, industry and commerce, and the bright red that links the sections represents the active and vigourous nature of the population.

The Parc national de Fjord-du-Saguenay preserves and showcases the Fjord du Saguenay, a unique natural environment in Quebec. Baie-Éternité (Rivière-Éternité): 350-metre high rock walls that were sculpted by the glaciers stand erect on each side of the Fjord. Baie de Tadoussac (Tadoussac): the glaciers passage has created impressive marine terraces called dunes, and this area offers a major migratory crossroads for birds of prey. Baie Sainte-Marguerite (Sacré-Coeur): a favoured spot for beluga whale watching. Three Centre de décou-

verte et de services (discovery and services centres) highlight the unique features of the Fjord. Park wardens share their knowledge of this exceptional natural area and its treasures. A 100-km network of short and long hiking trails brings visitors to the front rows of a spectacular scene. Cruises, sailing, sea kayaking, rabaska, row-boat fishing or going on a zodiac expedition are but a few of the many ways to discover the Fjord. Our many accommodations make your stay a memorable one: we offer cabins, ready-to-camp lodging in rustic camp, shelters and camping sites. In winter, Baie-Éternité (Rivière-Éternité) becomes an ice-fishing village. A crosscountry skiing and snowshoeing trail connects RivièreÉternité to L’Anse-Saint-Jean (with a short stay in a refuge or rustic camp). The Baie-Sainte-Marguerite de Sacré-Coeur sector is also accessible with the “Attache ta tuque” package. Find out about our package deals! Open season: mid-May to end of October and midDecember to end of March. Schedule: access fee applicable.
