The Itinerary
Shawinigan, Jean Chrétien's hometown, is renowned for the Cité de l'énergie — a unique hydroelectricity theme park with a 115-m panoramic tower, water theatre and historic power station.
Shawinigan Falls on the Saint-Maurice River once powered the entire aluminum industry. In summer, the Shawinigan Cité de l'Énergie Festival animates the waterfront.
