Trace Baie-Comeau's fascinating dual founding — the Anglo paper-mill town of Colonel McCormick and the French-Canadian Vieux-Poste quarter — on the official guided heritage walk, culminating at the stunning Art Deco Sainte-Amélie Church.
What to expect
Departing at 9:30 am or 1:30 pm daily, your guide leads a 2 km route through the historic Marquette and Sainte-Amélie quarters, pausing at architectural gems including the ornate twin-towered Sainte-Amélie Church — whose interior murals and woodwork rival anything in Québec City. The Vieux-Poste waterfront reveals the town's pre-industrial fur-trade origins. The pace is leisurely, with ample time for photography and questions. Groups are deliberately kept small for an intimate, conversational experience.
Good to know
Meeting point is centrally located — a short walk or 5-minute taxi from the cruise pier. Duration is approximately 2 hours; easily combined with a dockside lunch afterward. Operates June 15 through September 29, 2025. No advance online booking required but recommended for cruise-day certainty — contact Tourisme Baie-Comeau directly.
