The Itinerary
Val-d'Or, the "Gold City," is built on one of the world's richest gold belts. The Lamaque mine (Village Minier de Bourlamaque) allows visitors to descend underground and touch Quebec's mining history.
Between Val-d'Or and Amos, Route 111 passes through La Corne village — known for its bison refuge — and Barraute with its trout lakes. Abitibi reveals itself as an underrated northern outdoor destination.
