Hiked up Mont Ernest-Laforce (820 M) spectacular 360° views of Mont Albert, Mont Hog's Back, etc. Terrain is rugged in a fun way, you don't need to be an athlete to get to the top, but you feel like one when you get there. Also did the easy hike to Lac-aux-Américains (cirque/glacial basin). Wonderful scenery, beautiful part of the planet.

Nice place to visit to get information on the St-Lawrence under water creatures. They also had an informative session where you are also able to hold some of the species. Great little spot that will take you about two hours to visit and then a cute little boutique on the way out.

If you’re into rocks, this place is not to be missed! You’ll be leaving with a sack full of unique souvenirs. It’s fairly easy to get to: from either the north or south, Route 299 is a paved highway. Once you make the turn east toward the mine, the gravel road can be bumpy but passable - just slow down! It’s only a couple of kilometers. The driveway to the mine itself is a more rutted, but it, too, is passable - just take it slowly and carefully. The parking lot is level and spacious. A friendly greeting at the office - I’m not going to lie, you’ll get more out of the initial instructions if you understand French - and they set you up very efficiently: a 5-gallon bucket strapped to a hand truck, and rock hammers for everyone in your party. And off you go! From the reception, it’s a short, shady walk to the first digging site. You’ll pass the stone-cutter along the way. I had two dogs in tow, so I didn’t wander too far from the easy-access front of the first dig site. But the site is several terraced acres, so an adventurous soul could explore further. There is also a second dig site, but I didn’t go to it. Once you have a satisfactory amount of stones, you return to the stone-cutting shed. FYI, you pay for every cut stone that you want - this is where this outing can become an expensive proposition! So keep that in mind as you are collecting your rough rocks at the dig site. Also, the stone cutter speaks only French. You lay out your stones, and the stone cutter chooses 3-4 stones that he thinks will yield the best results. If you are happy with those results, he will write up a receipt and send you on your way. If you want additional stones cut, you will need to negotiate with him. Then you wheel back to the entrance. There are toilets and clean-up sinks there. I would definitely come here whenever I happened to be in the area. I was able to navigate the process easily with my two leashed dogs, and there were lots of families with little kids, as well. The folks in charge were very welcoming, and the mine itself offered a rockhounding experience that I thought I would need to travel out west for.

We would recommend this experience to anyone. It was as beautiful as Iceland! ;) (Original) Pour une expérience CHIC avec des bons CHOCS 🙌 Quelle sortie INCROYABLE nous avons vécue avec notre guide Alain et son jeep dans les Chic-Chocs !

Hands down some of the most delicious, smooth, perfect chocolate I have ever tasted in my life. Wish they sold it in Ontario, however, I’d be broke!

Super cute and artistic products; wish we have bought more. It is a great stop to shop for souvenirs and support local talented and hardworking artists!
