The Itinerary

Montmagny is world-famous as the Snow Goose Capital. Each spring (late April) and autumn (mid-October), hundreds of thousands of snow geese and Ross's geese stop at the Montmagny mudflats during migration.

The Festival de l'Oie Blanche (October) draws thousands of visitors for telescope observation, boat excursions and goose-based cuisine. The river road between Lévis and Montmagny is one of the south shore's finest.
