More to Sea Than Meets the Eye…
Travelling down the Whale Route also entails learning about the culture and heritage of the Manicouagan region. Can you say the following place names three times quickly: Sainte-Anne-de-Portneuf, Forestville, Colombier, Betsiamites, Ragueneau, Papinachois? Once you mastered that little tongue twister, try this one: Manicouagan Peninsula, Chute-aux-Outardes, Pointe-aux-Outardes, Baie-Comeau, Franquelin, Godbout, Pointe-des-Monts. Whew…

While it may take some practice before these poetic sounding names roll smoothly off the tongue, they capture the beauty of Manicouagan and its history. Explore the region to learn more about the heritage of Manicouagan's hardy coastal people through a celebration of nature, culture, art and handicrafts.
