LA GALOUÏNE AUBERGE & RESTAURANT

«Dans la langue populaire acadienne, la galouïne est une tempête violente et subite, analogue à ce que les marins appellent un grain.»

Tadoussac, 418 years of history.

Located in the province of Québec, where the Saguenay River meets the Saint-Lawrence River, Tadoussac is 417 years old. First settlement in North America in 1600, the village of the time became a meeting place for the fur trade with the Natives.

Today, the village is located at the heart of the world’s first Marine Park (Parc Marin du Saguenay-Saint-Laurent) where one finds the beluga, blue whale, the minke whale, finback, porpoises, dolphines, seals and many bird species because Tadoussac is situated right in their migration route.

Its sea-mammals interpretation center (CIMM) is a reference throughout the world both for its research on sea-mammals and for the quality of its exhibition where naturalists will give you information on the latest discoveries about the Saint-Lawrence river whales. Tadoussac provides whale-watching excursions, which are known as having the best observation conditions. A nature to discover!
