Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean
Region:   Le Québec
Additional information:    Tourisme Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean
 
The Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean region is inhabited by colourful, endearing people, who are considered to be among some of the province’s most welcoming. Two magnificent bodies of water characterize the region and never fail to charm. The lake, a true interior sea, stands out for its impressive surface area and the water’s changing colours. The fjord cuts through majestic cliffs and mountains to meet up with the St. Lawrence River. Many cruises are offered as a way to explore the region from a different point of view. The region isn’t lacking when it comes to attractions and activities. Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean is known for its numerous great shows highlighting the region’s talented people. Every year many families visit the magnificent Zoo sauvage de Saint-Félicien, where 80 species of animals in semi-captivity may be observed, whether you’re on foot or aboard the screen-protected train. Discover this fabulous territory’s natural and spectacular beauty in three national parks or explore the history of the region’s development at one of the various theme parks or reconstituted historic villages. With its 22 weeks of snow, Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean is a land of winter par excellence, making it a reputable destination for snowmobiling, ice fishing, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing.
