Land of the wild geese and << la Corriveau >>

Perched on a hillside overlooking the St. Lawrence, facing Île d’Orléans, Saint-Vallier is a charming shaded village that has preserved its tranquility and look of olden times.

Noteworthy buildings include the Manoir Lanaudière dating from 1767, the mill of the hospital nuns (Sisters of Mercy) and the classified home of Doctor Côté.

A jewel of local natural heritage, the Rivière Boyer Domain is a sanctuary where thousands of snow geese can be observed in spring and fall, taking flight in bursts of cackling.

A museum of horse-drawn vehicles takes you back to elegant old horse-and-carriage days, while the traditional wooden boat building yard at Rivière des Mères, two kilometres east of the village, will charm you with its nostalgic concern for tradition and work well done, just like the bakery (with its terrace), the cheese maker, the butcher and the horticulturist.
