Saguenay aka: Chicoutimi

I’m going here on July 1 with a study-abroad program through my university. I can’t wait!

The mountains are gorgeous, but watch out for the moose! Dozens of people get killed every summer, driving that stretch of highway between QC City and Chicoutimi.

If you’re up here, I suggest going to the Fromagerie Boivin, the original makers of the “squeaky cheese” that goes in le vrai poutine. Delicious and actually squeaky!

worth it for the drive alone thru the mountains. the town is pretty boring but there are lots of rental chalets, camping and hiking areas nearby and the views are incredible especially in the winter and fall.
