Excursions to Île aux Basques
Île-aux-Basques is located five kilometres off Trois-Pistoles. A journey back in time awaits you. This place was first inhabited more than 2000 years ago by members of the First Nations who came there to trade, then occupied by Basque fishermen from 1584 to harvest whales and their fat. Île aux Basques is an integral part of local history because of its geographical location and by the nature of its occupation by human beings. Duration: 3 hours.
