Kamouraska Village

Kamouraska

One of Quebec's most beautiful villages, with 18th- and 19th-century houses, bakeries and galleries lining the St. Lawrence River, and spectacular sunsets.

Founded in the 17th century, Kamouraska is one of Quebec's oldest villages and is listed among the Most Beautiful Villages in Quebec. Morel Avenue runs along the riverbank, lined with traditional Quebec houses with curved eaves, the Saint-Louis Church, artisan bakeries, smokehouses, ice cream shops and art galleries; a stroll takes one to two hours. Miller Wharf and the wide intertidal flats along the shore are ideal for watching the sunset, with the Kamouraska Islands standing out in layers against the evening sky. Summer weekends bring many visitors and parking is tight, so arrive early.
