More about Sainte-Anne-des-Monts |

|
Nestled at the hollow of a cove, the town of Sainte-Anne-des-Monts is an excellent example of marriage between the sea and the mountains, and proudly opens the gate to the Parc de la Gaspésie. Take 1re Avenue, which runs alongside the River for over 8 kilometres in order to take in the Annemontoise culture, that is, the culture of Sainte-Anne-des-Monts. Discover, among other things, the driftwood sculptures. Take the time to explore the trails and promenades along the St. Lawrence River and the salmon river. The parks located near the Cartier beach offer activities for the whole family (games, in-line skating, mini-golf, shuffleboard). In the Tourelle sector, a walk along the shore leads to the last monolith (turret) after which the old municipality is named.
A hiking hotspot, Parc national de la Gaspésie gives visitors access to an extraordinary mountain environment. The Chic-Chocs and McGerrigle Mountains cross the park. Among them, Mont Jacques Cartier is the second highest peak in Québec. The altitude of these mountains deeply influences the climate that moulds the landscape and creates a diversity of species unique to Québec, and even the world. Arctic-alpine plants and tundra landscapes form a habitat for a herd of woodland caribou, the last representatives of this species south of the St. Lawrence.
