Our drive through Quebec in 2022 was maybe 10 days? Stayed mostly in the St Lawrence Valley, though, hiking in the big parks. Saguenay Fjord was probably our favourite stop. Even met some cruisers there (East Coast cruises sometimes make port stops there).
Scary as it sounds, yes. The Southernmost fjord in the Northern Hemisphere or something like that. There's a national (=provincial) park with nice hiking and views and then Chicoutimi is at the tip (that's where we crashed for the night).
And now Norway will claim ownership and we can't do anything aboot it but watch Norway's coast gain another invagination
While fjord is a Norwegian word and they are famous for them, the basic structure of a long narrow bay with steep sides is found in a number of places. Alaska has quite a few and I think there are some in Northern BC even.
And I was amazed when I found out France was so close to Newfoundland!
I actually knew that. As a kid I collected stamps and looked up the places they came from. In my mature years I wonder what the heck I should do with thousands of stamps!
My mother had almost a fulltime job when she decided to inventory and value her late father's stamp collection. It was just sitting in boxes in our basement when I was a kid, along with some other stuff from her family.
Yup, St. Pierre France is 15km from Newfoundland and takes 1 1/2 hrs. by ferry and you will need your passport to go through customs. Alot of French cuisine and mostly French speaking.
