My plan was to whale watch and cross the St. Lawrence to the Gaspésie on the same day, coming from Chatêau Richelieu in Malbaie, but then my daughter saw the beach when we crossed to pick up people for the whale watching tour (We had gotten on at Baie-Ste-Catherine, where I would stay next time). Although Tadoussac is famous for being Canada's oldest village, it was the beach that couldn't be missed. So we crossed over the Saguenauy river on a free highway ferry and walked up and down until we found our hotel. It was nice to see the Hotel Tadoussac, but for a tiny room and the price not including breakfast, we just took a picture. We stayed at the Hotel Le Pionnier up the street, and the walk up and down went quickly, with the view of the water on the way down , and the Hotel and the tiny church simply called Tadoussac Chapel (The oldest wooden church in Canada, built by the Jesuits for the Montagnais) to pass by. I was happily surprised that we were able to get a top floor room with a decent view, especially fun later that night with the torrential rains that passed by. The breakfast was great, and the beach was amazing! Now I am looking for the lucky owner of the beachhouse. That would be the place to be for a few days!
