Sept-Îles, Industrial port city on Saint Lawrence River in Quebec, Canada
The city extends along the northern shore of the Saint Lawrence River, surrounded by seven islands that form a natural harbor of 45 square kilometers.
The settlement originated in 1650 when French explorers established a trading post and Jesuit mission, later becoming a center for fur trading operations.
The Shaputuan Museum presents exhibitions about Innu traditions, while the Clarke City Interpretive Centre documents the industrial development of the North Shore.
Transportation options include daily flights from Quebec City, rail service to northern communities, and Route 138 connecting to the provincial road network.
The Aluminerie Alouette facility operates as one of North America's largest aluminum smelters, employing a substantial portion of the local population.
