Daily rhythms feel unhurried, yet essentials are close at hand in neighboring La Pocatière. Heritage runs deep here—local chapels, century-old homes, and the renowned sanctuary set a timeless tone—while the Route 132 corridor invites leisurely drives and long bike rides along the shoreline via the province-spanning Route Verte, a favorite with cyclists seeking flat, scenic mileage and safe shoulders. Weekend wanderers will appreciate the artisan stops and farm stands dotted across Kamouraska, a county known for its sunsets, markets, and artist studios.
