On the shores of Lake Témiscouata, time gently stretches out. Lulled by the lapping of the waves, Témiscouata-sur-le-Lac invites you to slow down, breathe in the pure morning air and listen to the sound of birds awakening under the first rays of daylight. Mornings are gentle, sunrises extraordinary, days bright and evenings unforgettable.

On the road to wide-open spaces

On two wheels, with the wind in your hair, every turn reveals a new scenery, a new invitation to contemplation.
