What to See and Do
 

As soon as you set foot on this archipelago in the middle of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, you will fall under the spell of the Islands’ red cliffs, white-sand beaches and rolling green hills. There are so many things to discover during your stay in the Îles de la Madeleine: birds and marine wildlife, natural sites where you can enjoy outdoor activities of all kinds, artists and artisans inspired by the sea, delicious seafood (lobster, mussels, scallops, fish, etc.) and more. You can also expect a warm and friendly welcome from the locals! Read our suggestions for what to see and do during your vacation in this region.
