Ferland-et-Boilleau balances quiet, country living with easy access to big-nature adventures and city conveniences. Set along Route 381 between forested hills and glassy lakes, it puts you within a quick drive of the fjord views and services of Saguenay and its La Baie borough, while remaining firmly rooted in the outdoorsy spirit of the Le Fjord-du-Saguenay region.
Weekends here write themselves: paddle or watch belugas along the cliffs of Parc national du Fjord-du-Saguenay, chase summit views and deep snow in Parc national des Monts-Valin, or cast a line and roam forest roads in the vast Zec Martin-Valin. Wildlife sightings are common, night skies are pitch-black for stargazing, and fall colors are spectacular all along Route 381.
Families appreciate the close-knit community feel, with public elementary and secondary options available in nearby La Baie under the regional school network, and abundant extracurriculars in Saguenay. For higher education, the research-driven Université du Québec à Chicoutimi (UQAC) anchors a full slate of programs, professional training, and cultural life just up the road. Everyday essentials, markets, and medical services are found in La Baie and central Saguenay, while local roads and trailheads keep your gear permanently within arm’s reach.
