A must for your picnic on the island
One of the best observation site
Hop aboard the L'Isle-aux-Grues-Montmagny ferry and walk in the footsteps of famous artist Jean-Paul Riopelle as you discover an island renowned for its natural beauty and delicious cheeses. Breathe in the salty air, feast your eyes on the brightly-coloured houses and enjoy the breathtaking sunsets in this idyllic landscape.
The island is home to many species of birds, including the thousands of migratory geese passing through in the spring and fall that were such an inspiration for Riopelle's work.
Théo and Mia's photo treasure hunt is a great way for families to discover the weather vanes and bird houses dotted all over the island. Info sheet available at the ferry terminals.
Since there's only a short stretch of road on the island, it's an ideal spot to explore by bike. Why not combine your visit to the island with a bike ride along the shore in Montmagny?
Open: seasonal service, from April to December.
Variable schedule, depending on tides. Please check return time.
Crossing time: 30 minutes.
Isle-aux-Grues, a hidden gem of the Saint-Lawrence river. A change of scenery worth seeing! Thanks to Tourisme Chaudière-Appalaches, my husband and I had the chance to enjoy the typically ''gruoise'' island life during an autumnal weekend.

L'Est du Québec, une île à la fois est le projet d'Eve-Danielle Latulippe. En d'autres mots, elle part à l'aventure sur la majorité des îles qui longent le St-Laurent dans l'Est du Québec, en partant de l'Île d'Orléans aux Îles de la Madeleine en passant par l'Île d'Anticosti, l'Isle-Aux-Coudres et plusieurs autres destinations. Elle a débuté son périple à l'Isle-aux-Grues. Elle nous raconte ici, son aventure.
