With some terrific day trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to enjoy everything that Saguenay, 30 miles away, has to offer. Soak up the sights starting with Saguenay River, Centre Georges-Vezina and Place du Royaume. Locals are also likely to point you in the direction of Tadoussac, 35 miles away. If you can only see one thing here, make sure it’s Saguenay-St. Lawrence Marine Park. (But we’re also big fans of Tadoussac Marina and Observation de l’Ours Noir.)
