With some great road trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to explore everything that Matane, 25 miles away, has to offer. Matane Ferry Terminal, Matane Lighthouse and Doris Gardens alone make the drive out worth it. Locals are also likely to point you toward Rimouski, 40 miles away. If you only have time for one attraction here, let it be Rimouski - Forestville Ferry. (But we’re also big fans of Musée de la Mer and The Lamontagne House.)
