Saint-Sébastien blends wide-open countryside with practical, small-town living, making it appealing to anyone seeking space, quiet roads, and a strong sense of community. Weekends can mean farm-stand finds, backyard bonfires, and starlit skies, with daily needs and services a quick drive away in Lac-Mégantic, Thetford Mines, or even a broader urban outing to Sherbrooke.
Outdoorsy residents are well served. Kayakers, anglers, and birders head to Parc national de Frontenac for shoreline trails and calm waters, managed by the park’s official team at Parc national de Frontenac. For exceptional stargazing and mountain hikes, Parc national du Mont-Mégantic offers year-round programming through Parc national du Mont-Mégantic and the ASTROLab, while local cycling routes connect easily to regional loops highlighted by Tourisme Région de Mégantic. Winters bring groomed trails and deep-snow landscapes ideal for snowshoeing and cross-country skiing.
