Amqui, a central town in the heart of the MRC de La Matapédia, borrows its name from the Micmac language, which means "where we have fun". This is why the Amqui people invite you to come and visit them to have fun and to relax. Located where the Matapédia River and the Matapédia Lake meet, at the crossroads of the provincial roads 132 and 195, Amqui is part of the Villages-relais network, which ensures the diversity and the quality of the services and the hospitality offred to travellers.
Go to the tourist information bureau and see how ts architecture is reminiscent of the first train station of Amqui, dating from 1888. With the help pf the personnel, you will discover one of the nicest campground in Québec, a beautiful golf course, and two magnificent covered bridges. Visit the heritage train station where you will find the Savonnerie Olivier, the Café l'Express'O, the handicraft shop La Cachette and the Lynnewood, the oldest working Pullman car in North America. Starting at the train station, a hiking trail will take you to the Parc Pierre-et-Maurice-Gagné, to the Beauséjour covered bridge, to the heritage buildings downtown, as well as to the salmon fishing sites.
At night, Amqui offers the Figaro cinema and its magnificent mural fresco, shows organized by the Codec d'Amqui at the town hall, the delights of the Café l'Express'O, as well as very high quality restaurant and lodging services. During the summertime, our trails await cyclists, skaters, hikers and quaders, while in the wintertime, Amqui and La Matapédia are the dream locations for skiers and snowmobilers.
