The past of this village in the Portneuf region is rich: nearly 300 years of history closely tied to the beauty of its landscape and its breathtaking view of the Saint Lawrence River, where the French established one of the first navigation monitoring posts.
The present is dynamic: in summer, Saturday mornings are enlivened by the public market where local artisans offer their quality products and engage with visitors, often arriving by bicycle.
Besides a Chemin du Roy whose shoulder seems designed for them, cyclists find a vast selection of inns and bed-and-breakfasts with enticing menus and great comfort.
The future looks promising, driven by a community committed to investing in burying power lines and enhancing the architectural heritage, including cornices, wrought iron galleries, and shingle roofs.
