The wind is nearly constant in the Îles de la Madeleine and off the coasts of Gaspésie and Côte-Nord. However, far from complaining about this, the people of Québec maritime have harnessed the wind and incorporated it into their recreational activities. Don’t miss this opportunity to try out sand buggying, kite surfing or stunt kite flying. Enjoy the wind!
