Enough to offer beautiful driving sensations, wonder too. Ice and snow have taken over nature to offer you a pure and invigorating spectacle. Wildlife is an integral part of Quebec’s universe. This is how you go up to Chutes-Saint-Philippe to contemplate the largest deer ravage in the region.

To get over it, head to St-Anne du lacs for lunch. Satisfied, you then restart for the outfitter Notawissi which is located on the beautiful and majestic Lake Notawissi. You will spend two nights at this place. After a first dinner and a good night in your cottage, happiness seems simple and easy.
