Lieu historique national du phare de Pointe-au-Père — Attraction in Rimouski

HIGHLY recommend spending half a day here or longer! We didnt have as much time to spend as we would have liked so we opted for just the submarine tour and the tour/video of the Empress.

I recommend doing the submarine during less busy times as it definitely felt claustrophobic in the submarine. We listened to the audio throughout the tour at our own paces and enjoyed learning about the history. This was my 12-year-olds highlight from our entire family vacation!

We also highly recommend doing the movie of the Empress! It was so neat to learn how similar this was to the Titanic, yet we never heard about it! Since we speak English, we were given headsets to listen in English. It felt very 3-D, as they had fog machines and mist to make it a full experience! Then we toured through the museum after and it was wonderful. So many artifacts and interactive displays for the kids. My children are 6,9,12 and all really enjoyed this!

We didn't get to tour this lighthouse unfortunately but did take pictures outside. There is a big playground and café there on site to make this a half day adventure for the whole family! Im so glad we...

This is another of the 3 most important attractions in Pointe-au-Père, "THE LIGHTHOUSE" is also in very good condition and once you get to the top it offers you an incredible view of the place, in addition to the fact that it is the tallest lighthouse in Quebec and of the 50 that exist on the St. Lawrence River, only surpassed by its new automatic skeletal version that lies next to it and is also no longer in operation. It is worth visiting and seeing with your own eyes the panorama that can be seen from there. My only partial observation that caught my attention was the fact that the person giving the explanation did not take notes of certain questions for which he had no answer... so that if on another occasion someone were to ask him the same thing, he can answer them, although I must say that he knows the data and the history of the Lighthouse itself and the equipment that is there. Another adventure that is possible to do in time, highly...

Visiting this lighthouse was an absolutely amazing experience. Climbing up to the top was an adventure in itself, and the view from up there was simply breathtaking.

What made the visit even more special were the historic sites connected to the lighthouse. Exploring them added a sense of depth and history, making me appreciate the place even more. It was like taking a step back in time while still being surrounded by nature’s beauty.

If you’re ever in the area, this lighthouse is definitely worth the visit—both for the stunning views and the rich history that...
