General presentation
Kamouraska
Isle ranges, old houses and sunsets make up one of the most attractive rural landscapes in the Lower St. Lawrence.
Kamouraska Village, Kamouraska Islands and Kamouraska Regional Museum give the most telling landmarks of Kamouraska. Together, they form a destination where riverscapes, countryside, heritage and natural spaces meet, with atmospheres that change over the stages rather than just one uniform decor.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Village
Village de Kamouraska

Place indismissible
Îles de Kamouraska
The islands of Kamouraska The St. Lawrence is punctuated by low silhouettes, visible from the village and beaten by them. They give the landscape a very special depth, especially at low tide or at sunset, when channels and rocks break out in the light.
Museum
Musée régional de Kamouraska
The Musée régional de Kamouraska tells the life of the village, the river and the families established on this shore of the Lower St. Lawrence. Domestic objects, archives and exhibitions place heritage houses and agricultural landscapes in a more intimate local history.
Nature park
Parc national du Lac-Témiscouata
