Presentation
The Baie-Comeau region's landscape has been shaped by glacial retreats and extraordinary and unusual natural phenomena such as a meteorite, which created the immense Manicouagan crater.
Big country. Big hearts
Baie-Comeau is part of the UNESCO’s Manicouagan-Uapishka World Biosphere Reserve, one of the largest biospheres in the world. Surrounded by water, locals and tourists can enjoy parks, walking trails and easy access to numerous beaches.
From unleashing your inner scientist at the famous Garden of the Glaciers or Seashell Valley to experiencing life as a lumberjack at the notorious Franquelin Heritage Forest Village, Baie-Comeau has something for everyone. Admire magnificent frescoes inside the beautiful Church of St. Amelia, learn the fascinating history of Colonel McCormick at Baie-Comeau Manor, and witness one of Québec’s greatest feats of engineering at the hydroelectric dams.
Big country with big heart, Baie-Comeau is a unique and unforgettable experience.
