Nature

Témiscouata has mountain landscapes typical of the Bas-Saint-Laurent region and is traversed by the Monts-Notre-Dame mountain chain, with many impressive lakes nestled in the valleys.

History and heritage

The region still shows plenty of traces of its past, particularly its interesting history due to its proximity to the United States, such as the remnants of Fort Ingall, which shines the light on the border conflict between the US and Canada in the 1800s. There’s also a lot to learn about the region’s role in the Prohibition at the Vieille Gare de Rivière-Bleue and the Festival du Bootlegger.
