Saint-Fortunat rewards lovers of quiet roads, big skies, and four-season adventure. Set in the Appalachian foothills of Les Appalaches, this rural community sits within easy reach of Thetford Mines and Victoriaville, making errands and dining out simple while keeping home life wonderfully tranquil. Residents plug into local life through the Municipalité de Saint-Fortunat, which steers community events, infrastructure, and recreation programs that make small-town living feel effortlessly connected.
Outdoor time here is exceptional. The granite crown of Parc régional du Mont-Ham rises just to the south with panoramic summit views, well-marked hiking, and interpretive programming. To the east, paddlers, anglers, and campers escape to the beaches, bays, and wildlife-rich wetlands of Parc national de Frontenac. Scenic drives thread the area, including the historic Chemins Craig et Gosford, where churches, covered bridges, and stone houses tell the region’s settlement story. When snow arrives, locals switch to snowshoeing, Nordic skiing, and sledding on a network of groomed trails.
Families benefit from the Centre de services scolaire des Appalaches, which organizes elementary and secondary options in nearby communities, with school transportation commonly available. Whether you’re seeking acreage for a future hobby farm, a cabin near trailheads, or a village lot within walking distance of community activities, Saint-Fortunat offers space to grow without giving up convenience.
