La Motte offers the calm of wide-open countryside with convenient proximity to regional hubs. Minutes from Amos and within an easy drive of Val-d'Or, Rouyn-Noranda, and Malartic, residents enjoy quick access to jobs, healthcare, and entertainment while coming home to quiet roads, shimmering lakes, and the vast boreal forest. Local life moves to a four-season rhythm—canoeing and fishing when the ice goes out, garden harvests in late summer, and crisp winters perfect for snowshoeing, sledding, and aurora spotting.
Families appreciate straightforward school options through the Centre de services scolaire Harricana, which coordinates transportation to nearby elementary and secondary schools and offers adult education and specialized programs. Post‑secondary pathways are close at hand via the Cégep de l’Abitibi‑Témiscamingue, with campuses and student services that support a range of technical and pre‑university programs. Day-to-day essentials are covered locally and in Amos, while big-box shopping and broader cultural offerings are an easy trip away.
Weekends often feature wildlife encounters at the renowned Refuge Pageau, or hikes through basalt ridges, boreal lookouts, and kettle lakes at Parc national d’Aiguebelle. Whether you’re drawn by space to spread out, star-filled skies, or the practicality of being near multiple centers, La Motte delivers a grounded way of life with meaningful amenities close by.
