| LAC ST-JEAN |
| This lake is well known for its blueberries, and very hospitable people. It is the source of the Saguenay, which eventually empties into the St. Lawrence at Tadoussac, of which pictures are shown in the Manicouagan section. I didn’t tour the lake due to lack of time, but I think this is a trip worth taking. |

| The Val Jalbert falls. At 75m high, they are much taller than Niagara, but significantly narrower; they flow into Lac St-Jean (St. John’s Lake). |

| Val-Jalbert. A town shut down in 1927 for the same reasons mentioned in Chicoutimi. This building was a school and a convent (nuns taught the children). During the summer, they have live animation showing tourists how people used to live here. |
