1 > Zoo sauvage
de Saint-Félicien
Named as one of the ten most beautiful zoos
in the world, the Zoo sauvage de Saint-Félicien
is the home of over a thousand animals from
75 native or exotic species. Moose and caribou
roam free and share their territory with visitors
who travel in a caged train. Polar bear and
Japanese macaque can be observed in their
natural habitat. An animation programme and
two screening rooms provide a unique experience for the entire family. [pub. pC2]
2 > Village historique
de Val-Jalbert
The historical village of Val-Jalbert is sitting
on a magnificent natural site, where a small
industrial town lived in the early years of the
last century. Then, the town closed and was
abandoned to ghosts. Nowadays, it comes back
to life with its charming characters, historical
buildings, accommodations and the vertiginous
Ouiatchouan Fall. Approach the fall on a glass
platform, go to the top with the cable car and
visit the village by trolleybus. [pub. p208]
travel this circuit and enjoy breathtaking views
on the lake as they make their way through
15 municipalities, from agricultural plains
to shady forests. Three other cycling sections
connect to the Vélouroute des Bleuets offering
different environments.
4 > Parc de la caverne
Trou de la Fée
Combining many discovery activities and vertiginous challenges, the Trou de la Fée Cavern
Park is an unconditional must for the family and
adventure seekers. First, for its cavern sculpted
in granite, the ideal place for a first and safe
speleology experience, then for the hiking
trails taking the visitors to three waterfalls, the
footbridges hooked to the canyon walls, the

On the belt road of Lac Saint-Jean, SaintPrime seems a long straight village filled with
memories and promises. Saint-Prime, where
agriculture, forestry and dairy production and
transformation have always played a key role.
The Vieille fromagerie Perron is a reminder of
this page of history where each rural road had
its own cheese dairy. In those days, the people
of Saint-Prime gained expertise in cheese
making and, still today, are producing a
cheddar renowned all the way to Europe.
If you dream of wide spaces, then you should
know the village of Saint-Stanislas. At the
northern end of Lac-Saint-Jean, in the MariaChapdelaine County, this backcountry hamlet
shows several farming activities alongside the
Mistassibi River. Cattle breeders and dairy farms
are contributing to the local economy as well as
the forest industry. The rural roads are named
after pioneers who first colonized this territory.
The municipality of Saint-Prime underwent
a strong industrialization with the implementation of high technology industries in the
domain of heavy machinery and agricultural
equipment.
First and foremost, Saint-Prime remains an
interdependent and energetic community,
with touristic services such as a marina, a
launching ramp, a free supervised public
beach, a campground and a golf course along
Lac Saint-Jean. The Véloroute des Bleuets
criss-crosses this rural area.
In that sector, the Mistassibi River is frequented
by rafting, kayak and hydro speed enthusiasts.
The campground by Éden Lake is managed by
the municipality and is equipped with eight
sites with services and more sites without
service. There is also a beach and a quad trail.
Each fall in mid-September is the Festival du
Faisan (pheasant), and in winter, the territory
becomes a perfect playground for snowmobiles.

The Monts-Valin Massif,
a Nordicity experience
Far off, the Monts-Valin massif reveals with great
force a powerful and mesmerizing personality,
like the guardian of vast and wild northern
countries. While roaming the territory, the visitor will feel the call of the great boreal stretches.
To understand this massif… one must embrace
the long winters covering and levelling its
mountainsides with a thick coat of snow…
one must feel the gusty wind’s cold sting or the
gentleness of fine snow lace sliding down the
cheeks. An incredible winter experience!

travelling in QUÉBEC
Alcohol and bars
You must be at least 18 years old to enter bars,
pubs, and nightclubs, as well as to purchase or
consume alcohol (be prepared to produce ID
if asked). Wines and spirits are sold through
the Société des alcools du Québec (SAQ), the
provincial liquor board. Beer is available at grocery
and convenience stores, which also stock a limited
selection of wines.
Currency exchange
There are numerous exchange offices in Quebec’s
main urban centres. Airports also offer exchange
services. Some businesses accept American
money, but tend to offer a less competitive rate
than the exchange offices.

Driving in Québec
Since Canada uses the metric system, speed limits
and distances are indicated in kilometers per hour
(km/h) and gasoline is sold by the litre (l).
Cell phones
Use of a hand-held cell phone that does not
have a “hands-free” function is prohibited
while driving.
Winter tires
From December 15 to March 15, all taxis and
passenger vehicles registered in Quebec must
be equipped with winter tires. This requirement
also applies to rental passenger vehicles in
Quebec.
Road conditions
For information on road conditions, call 511
or 1 888 355-0511 or visit quebec511.info.
Tourist signage
In Quebec, tourist regions and directions to
services, attractions and activities are indicated
on blue roadside signs.

If you’re tired or you need help, stop in a
village-relais, a municipality that offers, in
co-operation with local businesses, a variety
of services like those available at service
centres, including food, fuel, mechanical
assistance and accommodation. They are
located on provincial highways and tourist
routes.
Electricity
Quebec’s electric current is 110 volts/60 cycles,
as it is throughout North America. Since the
outlets cannot accommodate European plugs,
you will need to bring or buy an adaptor.
Complaints
To make a complaint about tourism services
received in Quebec, please contact:
Tourisme Quebec
1 800 463-5009 (Canada and United States)
or 418 643-5959
[email protected]
Canadian currency
Legal tender in Quebec is the Canadian dollar
(CAD), which is divided into 100 cents. Bank notes
are available in denominations of 5, 10, 20, 50
and 100 dollars, and coins in denominations
of 5, 10 and 25 cents as well as 1 and 2 dollars.
Bank cards and major credit cards are also accepted almost everywhere.
Specialized institutions
Tipping
Tipping is customary in restaurants, bars and
taxis. The amount, which is not included in
the bill, generally represents 15% of the total
bill before taxes. For quick tip calculations,
Quebecers normally add up both taxes. Tipping
bellhops or porters is at your discretion (generally, $1 per bag carried).
Taxes
Two taxes apply in Quebec: the federal goods
and services tax (GST) of 5%, and the Quebec
sales tax (QST) per night, of 9.975%. A tax
on accommodations of $3 also applies in
Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean.
