TRADITIONAL WEIR FISHING AND GEOLOGY EXCURSION
Another world, within your reach!
Living Intangible Heritage and Fascinating Geology*
In Saint-Irénée, on the banks of the St. Lawrence River, the Charlevoix cultural and geological heritage forms a stunning duo! At low tide, you will first be guided to a traditional weir fishing facility, where you can see fishermen in action and learn more about this method of fishing. One of the last two installations of this type in Quebec!
Secondly, about one kilometer from weir fishing, you will have the opportunity to better understand the region's tormented past on an exceptional geosite accessible only via this activity. A real privilege to be seized!
