Tadoussac

ferry across the Saguenay fiord

After a short ferry ride, we arrived in the the village of Tadoussac today.  It's a whale-watching destination at the confluence of the St. Lawrence and the Saguenay rivers.
From the observation deck of the old lighthouse we saw minke, beluga and humpback whales!


 The local churches around here are eye-catching. The one with the red roof, built in 1647, is reputedly the oldest wooden church in North America.
