Notre-Dame-du-Lac

Notre-Dame-du-Lac is an administrative sector in Quebec's Bas-Saint-Laurent region positioned along Lake Témiscouata's shoreline. The area functions as a rural municipality with local governance and natural water boundaries that define its territory.

The settlement started as a parish in 1871 and gradually became a fully established municipality with formal administrative structures. Religious and civic institutions developed over time to serve the growing population.

The area maintains strong ties to Quebec's rural traditions through regular community events at the local arena and seasonal celebrations that bring residents together throughout the year.

An ice bridge connects the area across the lake during winter months, while a ferry service operates during warmer seasons. Visitors should check current transportation availability based on the season before planning their arrival.

The municipality developed a specific daylily variety called 'The Lady of the Lake' that serves as its official floral emblem. This plant variety reflects the area's close connection to its natural surroundings and the lake.
