Ste-Flavie is a small village located in the Gaspesie region about 25 minutes from Rimouski. Rent a cottage for a quiet and enjoyable stay to discover a region quite charming. Stroll through the village to visit art galleries, craft shops, interpretation centres, exhibitions of this municipality that is nicknamed the gateway to the Gaspésie. A heritage circuit is suggested to better understand the built heritage.
To the west of the village, you will be able to observe the birds at the Big Creek Stop. Nearby is the Extra-muros Garden where each cabin reveals a different aspect of our vision and our relationship with the St. Lawrence River. During the summer, fill it up with its public market and enjoy activities and entertainment at the dock. By the promenade of the place Clément-Chouinard, go to the beach to admire beautiful sunsets or Place Flavie-Drapeau to go for a picnic and access the beach. The Chouin'art sculpture site pays tribute to the sea, source of several tales and legends.
The Mitis River Park is an ecotourism site whose main mission is the preservation of the ecosystem located at the mouth of the Mitis River. The trails in the park will take you through the marsh, the forest to the river. A beautiful long beach borders Mitis Bay. No doubt you will meet many species of fauna and flora of the forest and coastline.
The Marcel-Gagnon art centre located directly on the seashore is a very pleasant place to visit for its paintings, of course, for "Le grand rassemblement", a work whose characters emerge from the river, but also for its excellent restaurant.
Several events are held every year in and around Ste-Flavie: the Reford Gardens Festival, the sand sculptures of St. Lucia, the Sculptures of Ste-Luce and the Rimouski Jazz Festival.
