Guided cruises through the archipelago and an immersive multimedia experience exploring the Sorel islands are just a few of the activities you can enjoy, along with the urban beach, with its shaded areas and breathtaking view of the St. Lawrence River.
Marvel at nature from every angle
Prepare for a bright, playful journey through the heart of the Sorel islands at Statera – L’archipel fabuleux. This “Archipelago of Wonders” features new 360° projections under an impressive outdoor dome, as well as a state-of-the-art interactive indoor path. Nature also puts on a show at Parc régional des Grèves, with marshes, peat bogs and century-old pine forests to explore along the St. Lawrence River, and at the Sentier du marais, a trail leading to the largest managed marsh in eastern North America. With so many activities to work up an appetite, pack a picnic to enjoy at one of the many parks lining the majestic river!
