Situated just opposite the village of Havre-Saint-Pierre lies the Mingan Archipelago National Park Reserve, a cluster of islands that boast fascinating geology. Canada’s largest collection of monoliths can be found along its shorelines, shaped over the ages by wind and sea, while the inland flora reflects the region’s arctic-alpine climate with boreal flora. Red foxes, harbor seals, and a variety of migratory birds, including the common eider, call this place home. Hiking paths snake through the islands, enabling visitors to get a closer look at their awe-inspiring nature.
