L'Isle-aux-Coudres, Island municipality in Charlevoix region, Canada.

L'Isle-aux-Coudres extends over 23 kilometers along the Saint Lawrence River, featuring varied terrain from coastal shores to inland agricultural fields.

French colonists established settlements on the island during the 17th century, naming it after the abundant hazelnut trees found in its forests.

Local residents, known as marsouins, maintain traditional crafts and culinary practices, including the production of flour at the historical windmill.

A free ferry service operates year-round from Saint-Joseph-de-la-Rive, providing transportation for vehicles and pedestrians to access the island.

The island's position in the Saint Lawrence River creates exceptional conditions for winter ice formation, allowing for natural ice bridges in cold months.
