Venture into the heart of the St. Lawrence archipelago, where 21 unique islands await exploration. The Lachance captains guide you through the local history of this captivating region, sharing ancient legends and amusing modern anecdotes. You'll discover how young couples once courted using only rowboats as their "social network", learn about the succession of island owners, and hear the curious tale of Great-Grandmother Pruneau's secret visits to Île-Marguerite.
