The Itinerary
This drive on Route 138 East is one of Quebec's most epic. After Sept-Îles, the road follows the St. Lawrence with constant views of islands and mountains. The road ends at Havre-Saint-Pierre — beyond, there is no road east.
The Mingan Archipelago, accessible by ferry from Havre-Saint-Pierre, is a timeless place: giant limestone monoliths sculpted by ice emerge from the sea, and wildlife (puffins, whales, polar bears in winter) is exceptionally rich.
