Sainte-Rose-du-Nord

Located on the north shore of Saguenay Fjord, this village features steep cliffs descending to the water and traditional Quebec architecture throughout its streets.

The settlement began in 1942 and was originally named La Descente-des-Femmes after Indigenous women who created paths down the cliffs to meet returning fishermen.

The village hosts the Symposium de sculpture à la tronçonneuse, where artists demonstrate their chainsaw carving skills in front of gathered spectators.

Several hiking paths start from the village dock, including the Sentiers du Quai and Sentier de la Plateforme, offering different perspectives of the fjord.

The Musée de la Nature, located 600 meters from the dock, presents exhibits about the natural environment of the Saguenay region and its geological formations.
