Wander through the European-style streets and discover more than 400 years of history.

DAY 6 Baie-Saint-Paul / Tadoussac
Travel on to Tadoussac( which necessitates a short 10 minute ferry journey), nestled in one of the world’ s most beautiful bays, at the mouth of the Fjord du Saguenay. Many marine mammals find their way to this spot and can be spied from the shore and on the water( 76 miles).
DAY 7 Tadoussac
