There are displays of ship's engines, bell buoys, compasses, and so on. Everything is signed in French, but the explanations are so clearly done that even I could pick up the main gist with my very limited French. Many of these date from the 1700's. If browsing through shops is your pleasure, there are six arts and crafts shops, an art gallery and a boutique. For food, there's an excellent bakery, four grocery stores and several fine restaurants and snack shops to choose from.
Accommodations range from camping through to auberges, motels and hotels.
We stayed at the Auberge la Coudriere which offered relaxed accommodations in large motel style rooms, with beautiful views over the St. Lawrence toward the Charlevoix mountains. A large refreshing pool was just perfect for the hot summer day. The kitchen serves up excellent breakfasts of your choice and the dinner was superb. Many nights the lounge offers live music and dancing. The Auberge also sponsors live summer theatre four nights of the week.
