4 ways to discover Sacré-Coeur and the Saguenay Fjord this summer

Spotlight on nature and wildlife watching

During your stay, take the time to visit Instinct Nomade, a small, family-run equestrian centre offering a variety of activities in an enchanting setting. Then, head to Parc national du Fjord-du-Saguenay, where you can watch beluga whales in Sainte-Marguerite Bay. At Halte du Béluga, you will have the chance to admire these magnificent creatures and maybe even hear their vocalizations, all while enjoying the breathtaking views. 

Prefer to combine marine wildlife observation with sea kayaking? Explore the wonders of the fjord on a guided tour with Fjord Aventure. 

Stunning scenery and viewpoints

If you enjoy photography and are looking for spots where you can get beautiful shots, visit the Louis-Gravel covered bridge, a heritage treasure with picturesque views of Sainte-Marguerite River, near Tadoussac. 

Continue your photo shoot at the L’Anse-de-Roche Yacht Club, where the panoramic view of the fjord promises spectacular sunsets. This little slice of paradise has picnic areas and a viewing pavilion to enhance your moments of contemplation.

Gourmet stops for local flavours

There is something for foodies as well! Discover the properties of wild plants on a gathering and tasting activity with Cœur Sauvage, or visit Herbamiel to learn all about beekeeping, the workings of the honey house and the benefits of honeybee by-products.

Are you more of a pizza-and-beer person? You’ll love Pizza au jardin, which offers not only a wide selection of pizzas made with fresh local ingredients, but also a large terrace for enjoying the beautiful summer weather. And if you’re looking to taste local beers, visit the inviting La Chasse-Gardée microbrewery, which gives free guided tours on Saturdays from 3 to 4 p.m. 

Accommodations with a view of the fjord

A cozy place to sleep is vital to recharge and make the most of your stay in Sacré-Coeur. 

For original accommodations only minutes from Parc national du Fjord-du-Saguenay, Canopée Lit offers treetop cabins and bubbles, a catering service and many outdoor activities to choose from. Alfred Le Voisin d’Oscar has four fully equipped ready-to-camp yurts that can sleep up to four people, with the possibility of hiking, sea kayaking and marine mammal watching. 

For more conventional lodging, Montfjord cottages offer all the comforts of home plus a four-season spa, in a beautiful natural setting. Whale watching, cruises and hiking in nearby nature will enhance your stay.

This summer, let yourself be charmed by Sacré-Coeur, a must-visit village in Côte-Nord, for a getaway filled with fun things to see and do.
