Baie-Trinité is a village in the Manicouagan Regional County Municipality in the Côte-Nord region of Quebec, Canada. It is located on the coast of the Gulf of Saint Lawrence at the mouth of the Trinity River , a salmon river which flows through the village. The major economic sectors are forestry and fisheries. The village and municipality are named after the small Trinity Bay into which the Trinity River drains. The river's name may be attributed to Jacques Cartier who sailed by this river on Trinity Sunday in 1536. The first permanent settlers came c. 1840, and in 1898, the Baie-de-la-Trinité Mission was established.

Route 138 1/3 Sept-Iles - Baie-Comeau

Emerald Princess à La Baie (Saguenay)

Alors que l'ouragan Sandy approchait la côte Est américaine, un navire transportant près de 5000 passagers à destination des maritimes est arrivé au port de Saguenay ce matin, 28 octobre 2012. C'est le plus gros bateau jamais accueilli dans la région.

Whale Watching in Saguenay, Quebec, July 2015. Part I

Saguenay (sæɡəˈne) is located about 200 km (120 mi) north of Quebec city, on the Saguenay River. Every year, from May to September, whales come there hunting for plankton and huge flocks of fish in St. Lawrence River. From time to time, approximately once in 10 minutes, they have to come up to the surface to breathe. They make 3-5 breathes and then dive into deep water. Whale is the biggest animal on the planet, measured in elephants - up to 40 :-)

Entry from: Les Escoumins, Canada
Entry Title: Saguenay Fjord -- Deep and Long but not very Tall

Entry:

I'd heard as a schoolboy that the Saguenay Fjord was one of the longest in the world. Years later someone told me the area around Tadoussac was pretty, sparsely developed and inviting. Given a spare day or two that's all the reason I need to explore a new place. Plus it would give my kids a chance to see a fjord in North America and an opportunity to do some whale watching. So we made the drive downriver on the north shore of the St. Lawrence, about 3 1/2 hours past Quebec City to Les Escoumins. We chose to stay in Les Escoumins because it offered attractive fairly priced condo rentals situated right on the banks of the St. Lawrence River -- a chance to watch the river and its traffic up close and hopefully see a few whales. Beluga whales frequent the area and I've never seen them in the wild before so I was hopeful.

This drive northeast of Quebec City takes you through picturesque Charlevoix, a less affluent but beautiful part of the province that I found especially notable for Its numerous cheese producing farms (each with its own label -- much like you might find in rural France). The topography is typical of the Canadian Shield and is heavily forested, with mixed coniferous and deciduous trees that must be especially beautiful when decorated in their fall canopy. The road is good and in due time we made it to the (free) ferry service which crosses the mouth of the Saguenay Fjord. The ride across the fjord is relaxing, picturesque and takes about 10 minutes, but the true length of the Fjord (about 100 miles) can not be fathomed from this initial encounter. The terrain around the fjord is again typical of the Canadian Shield, with rolling rounded granite hills covered by a mixed forest -- nothing like the tall, steep, rugged mountainous fjords of Norway or New Zealand.

As one drives off the ferry on the eastern side of the fjord the village of Tadoussac is immediately to the right. We continued past this turnoff and drove another 20 minutes further downriver to the village of Les Escoumins where we checked in for our two night/one day stay. This was the first time on our trip to Quebec where language became somewhat of an issue. No one in the registration office spoke English and I barely speak any French. Still, with gestures and a preprinted reservation notice we managed to work things out. I ran into a similar problem as I tried to tank up the van we'd rented. The gas station attendant spoke no English but we finally figured out how to get the gas paid for and pumped into my tank. So as you head out of the main cities into rural Quebec its good idea to have a French phrasebook with you.

The condo was nice with beautiful views of the St. Lawrence River. Unfortunately we arrived a few weeks before the whales start running in any number and didn't see a single fluke or blow out there. Still, there was a nice hiking trail beside the river which we enjoyed using several times, and the views up the St. Lawrence were beautiful.

We spent a day visiting Tadoussac and part of the Saguenay Fjord. Tadoussac is an historic though small village with its past including First Nations settlements, the fur trade, timber industry and now a focus on tourism. Tadoussac is dominated by the large Hotel Tadoussac, an elegant old whitewashed hotel with eye-catching firetruck red roof, which has been vacation resort for almost 150 years and the setting for some films including the Hotel New Hampshire. The town is quaint and picturesque and has a beautiful harbor. Located on the hotel grounds is a Chapel said to be the oldest church in North America. There's a trail that extends from the harbor area around the point at the mouth of the ...
