Discover the region’s cultural soul
Abitibi-Témiscamingue’s cultural season is in full swing in the fall! In addition to the many exhibition centres, theatres, heritage circuits, museums and historic sites to visit, the festival calendar also offers a rich and lively experience.

Get ready to experience traditional Quebecois music and dance!
Admire the golden-hued landscapes of Abitibi-Témiscamingue’s national parks
A favourite spot for outdoor enthusiasts, national parks are the perfect place to admire the symphony of colours that take turns in the spotlight around the region. Go on a hike in the Parc national d’Aiguebelle to discover evocatively named geological phenomena such as giant’s kettles and pillow lava, cross a vertiginous fault from the top of a suspended walkway hanging 22 metres in the air and climb the fire lookout tower for a panoramic view of the surrounding area. Parc national d’Opémican also invites you for a hike to enjoy the fall foliage. While you’re there, delve into the region’s log-driving history in the Pointe-Opémican sector, and check out the family activities that let you explore the park from a different angle!
