Saint-Fabien blends coastal calm with easy access to services and culture, set along the St. Lawrence between Rimouski and Trois-Pistoles in Rimouski-Neigette. Locals gravitate to the shoreline hamlet of Saint-Fabien-sur-Mer for big-sky sunsets, tidepool exploring, and quiet sandy coves, while nearby Le Bic anchors weekend outings for cafés and theater. Outdoor lovers are spoiled by the rocky capes, seal colonies, and sea-kayak routes of Parc national du Bic, a crown jewel managed by Sépaq, and community life is animated through the Municipalité de Saint-Fabien’s programming at parks, rinks, and gathering spaces. Families appreciate a small-town rhythm that still puts groceries, specialty shops, and festivals within a short drive.
Education is a strong suit: the Centre de services scolaire des Phares coordinates local elementary options and feeds into École secondaire Paul-Hubert in Rimouski. For higher learning, Cégep de Rimouski and the Université du Québec à Rimouski expand opportunities in technology, maritime studies, and the arts. Health needs are addressed through the Hôpital régional de Rimouski within the CISSS du Bas‑Saint‑Laurent network, and winters are made for carving turns at Station touristique Mont‑Saint‑Mathieu, an easy day trip. Whether you’re drawn by coastline living, trail-to-table recreation, or an engaged community that punches above its weight, Saint-Fabien invites you to settle in and stay a while. When you’re ready to move, Agent Pronto can quickly connect you with a top real estate professional for buying or selling here.
