Our cruises
Cruise to the Village Island: a rendez-vous with the history of Saint-Ignace-du-Lac, a dynamic village where 700 inhabitants lived and were deported to the four corners of Quebec because the village was flooded in 1931 for the construction of a hydroelectric dam, which led to the creation of Lac Taureau. You will dock directly on the beach to visit the island and its ruins before returning to your departure point. Animated cruise.
Historical cruise: aboard the Le Saindon cruise ship, take a two-hour plunge into the rich history of Saint-Michel-des-Saints. What better way to discover the area than on a cruise, where forestry has long been the region's economic engine.Animated cruise.
