Discover a pristine wilderness

Presented by: La CoSte
The M/V Nordik Express arriving in Natashquan. This authentic supply ship serves the coastal villages of the Lower North Shore, Minganie and Anticosti Island.
Enjoy spectacular vistas, as here in the rigolets (small fjord-like sheltered arms of the sea) between La Tabatière and Saint-Augustin. This area is dotted with hundreds of islands.
Sculpted by the sea, the unique limestone monoliths in the Mingan Archipelago National Park Reserve of Canada are proud witnesses to the passage of time.
Les Galets in Natashquan is a heritage site made up of 12 warehouses that were once used by the cod fishery. There is also a 6-kilometre (4-miles) beach nearby.
Middle Bay, a typical village on the Lower North Shore. A total of 14 such villages provide hospitality in this region and are home to 5600 anglophone, francophone and Innu residents.
Anticosti Island is home to over 160,000 white-tailed deer. Hunting, salmon fishing, hiking and sea kayaking are among the many activities on offer here.
Route 138 begins again in Vieux-Fort and links the six easternmost villages of Côte-Nord, all the way to Blanc-Sablon.
In the Lower North shore community of La Romaine, the Innu will introduce you to their traditional crafts. They are one of the only remaining nomadic indigenous peoples in North America.
