Sainte-Rose-du-Nord
A Picturesque Village in the Mountain
The village of Sainte-Rose-du-Nord is nestled in the fjord capes, in the heart of a valley. The village is made of three main coves, which are the High Cove, the Théophile Cove and the Women's Descent Cove. The first families started to settle here only in the middle of the 19th century. During the 1929 crash, about thirty families chose to come to the village to join the ones already established. The first road to link the village to Chicoutimi was built in 1937.
Before that date, the village was a self-sufficient community, and the villagers lived mainly from agriculture. Over the years, the forest industry took over and nowadays, visitors can discover a picturesque village by the fjord, far from all the hustle and bustle of the city. The houses seem to cling to the cliffs and in the valley. Numerous activities can be done in the village, like sea kayaking, cruises, ice fishing in winter, or simply let yourself be charmed by the panoramas offered from the viewpoints.
