Saint-Nazaire is an ideal base to explore the pearls of the Lac-Saint-Jean area. If you like the idea of seeing animals roam free their natural habitat, the Zoo sauvage de Saint-Félicien, open year-round, offers up a range of activities based on interacting with the resident wildlife. Add a dash of history to your stay by stopping by the Village historique de Val-Jalbert, an old hamlet that, for 25 years, thrived around a pulp mill built at the foot of a waterfall. The Montagnais people of Lac Saint-Jean share their stories, history and cultural heritage with you at the Musée amérindien de Mashteuiatsh. Two peaceful havens await those in search of relaxation: the Grands Jardins de Normandin, whose vast botanical wealth is spread over 17 hectares (42 acres), and the Ermitage Saint-Antoine, a tranquil hermitage in Lac-Bouchette.
Roll along at your own pace around Lac Saint-Jean on the Véloroute des Bleuets (blueberry cycle path), where you can enjoy 250 km (155 mi.) of delectable vistas of the boundless waters. The route takes you through the Parc national de la Pointe-Taillon, home to beavers and moose and the perfect spot for a little swimming, kayaking or canoeing.
