Sainte-Françoise offers quiet country living with big-sky views, patchwork fields, and welcoming community spirit. Set within the Les Basques county, it places you minutes from rivers, forests, and the St. Lawrence shoreline, while remaining within comfortable reach of Trois-Pistoles, Rimouski, and Rivière-du-Loup for shopping, services, and culture. Weekends can swing from farm-stand runs and maple producers to coastal sunsets at the nearby Parc national du Bic, a protected haven for seals, seabirds, and seaside trails managed by Sépaq.
Families are served by the Centre de services scolaire du Fleuve-et-des-Lacs, which provides busing and a network of elementary options in surrounding villages, with secondary studies continuing in Trois-Pistoles. For detailed calendars, programs, and registration, consult the Centre de services scolaire du Fleuve-et-des-Lacs. Health needs are covered regionally by the CISSS du Bas-Saint-Laurent, with CLSCs and hospitals positioned along the corridor from Trois-Pistoles to Rimouski.
Outdoor enthusiasts appreciate four-season recreation: snowmobile and ATV routes, cross-country skiing, and shoreline cycling, with hiking and wildlife watching at Parc national du Bic. Local festivals and markets in nearby towns add a lively calendar without sacrificing the area’s easy pace. Housing options range from heritage farmhouses and acreage to updated single-family homes, often with generous lots and room to grow.
