Québec road trip · La Baie, Saguenay

Your Québec road trip.
A pause beside the fjord.

Between the stops on your trip, spend a few nights in La Baie: a kitchen to gather in, a deck to slow down on and the Saguenay Fjord right in front of you.

A suggestion to make your own

Three nights to explore.
And take your time.

Make this stay a stop on your Québec trip or a getaway of its own. You do not need to see everything: choose one main outing and leave room to enjoy the chalet.

Day 1 · Arrival

Settle into the rhythm of the tides

Arrive from 4 p.m., settle in and enjoy the view. Pick up groceries for dinner at the chalet or head into La Baie. Keep this first evening relaxed.

Day 2 · Explore

A day around the fjord

Choose a hike in Parc national du Fjord-du-Saguenay to suit the sector, season and your ability. For a gentler or rainy day, visit Musée du Fjord in La Baie. Save the evening for your deck.

Day 3 · Your own pace

Enjoy your chalet

Enjoy a leisurely breakfast, explore La Baie or spend time by the water. Kayaks and paddleboards are available to rent: ask about availability and conditions. Leave the following morning, before 11 a.m.

Food is part of the journey too: Québec foods to try · Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean specialties

Before you leave

The details that make
your stay easier.

Should we plan to have a car?

A car is recommended to reach the chalets and visit the different parts of the fjord. Use the route links to check your exact journey, allowing for breaks and traffic conditions.

Which season should we choose?

Summer brings long days outdoors, autumn offers colourful scenery and hiking, and winter combines cosy evenings with seasonal activities in the region. Check attraction opening dates. The access down to the water is available from April to October, subject to conditions.

Are kayaks and paddleboards included?

They are offered for rent and are not included in the stay. Contact William and Maryse to check availability. Water access does not guarantee suitable paddling conditions: outings depend on weather and season.

How do we arrange a booking from abroad?

Check availability, choose your dates and calculate your stay. Prices are in Canadian dollars (CAD). Direct bookings currently use Interac e-Transfer. If you are travelling from France or elsewhere and cannot use Interac, contact us before confirming your stay. No payment is taken when you submit a request.

What if we just want a short Québec getaway?

Go straight to the calendar and choose your dates. This itinerary is a suggestion: no tour or activity is required to rent a chalet.
