[vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”12″][vc_column_text]To reach the end of land in this region of the Bas-Saint-Laurent, on the outskirts of the city of Rimouski, Quebec, is an authentic experience. There is, of course the lighthouse, jewel of Quebec\u2019s maritime heritage, which can be visited, but also every corner of a shored submarine can be visited. The site also houses the Museum of the Empress of Ireland, a liner which sank in 1914 in this area of \u200b\u200bthe river, but we didn\u2019t visit it. So we will focus on the first two listed attractions.<\/span><\/p>\n

To climb the 128 steps of the lighthouse erected in 1909 is really worth it. It must be said that it was very easy for me, hauled by my dad in a baby carrier. Once at the top of the second-tallest lighthouse in Canada, I understood why my parents and my grandmother had given themselves so much pain to reach the top in a daredevil stairway! The view is breathtaking! No need to say more, the tour is well worth the visit, especially since all Parks Canada sites are free for children 17 and under.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”45px”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”6677″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”6337″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space height=”45px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1541023145121{padding-bottom: 60px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text]Now, my family’s favourite thing was really the submarine. We had no expectation of going there because we first wanted to visit the lighthouse, then we decided to visit the submarine rather than the museum. Thanks to the audio guide freely provided with the visit, we moved from station to station in a chronological and well-organized manner, to my mother\u2019s delight. As we travelled, we were told how the submarine worked and told about the daily life of the 70 men who lived there from 1967 to 2000, by recounting crew members\u2019 anecdotes.<\/span><\/p>\n

It was one of my first family outings, I was barely 7 weeks old, which set the bar high for my future getaways!<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1461321532240{padding-bottom: 65px !important;}”][vc_column]

\n\t\t\tGood to Know\t\t<\/h3>\n\t \t
\n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\tWhen to visit\t\t\t<\/h6>\n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\tIn summer, if you want to experience the full experience, because the lighthouse is open only from the beginning of June until Thanksgiving.\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t <\/div>\n \t
\n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\tHow long to expect\t\t\t<\/h6>\n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t2 to 3 hours minimum.\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t <\/div>\n \t
\n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\tHow to dress\t\t\t<\/h6>\n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\tBringing a jacket is always a good idea near the river, even when it is 30oC outside. Walking shoes are recommended as the ground is gravel in several places, and since you will walk a lot.\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t <\/div>\n \t
\n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\tFacts\t\t\t<\/h6>\n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\tThe Empress of Ireland sank in 14 minutes, taking with it 1012 victims.\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t <\/div>\n \t
\n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\tCost\t\t\t<\/h6>\n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\tThe lighthouse is free for children 17 and under and $ 4 for adults. The submarine costs $ 10.50 for children (8-17 years old) and $ 16 for adults.\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t <\/div>\n <\/div>[vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\tMessage From My Parents\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>[vc_empty_space height=”10px”][vc_column_text]This site is truly a jewel of the Bas-Saint-Laurent. Both being native to the area, we were surprised not to have been there before, because everything was so interesting. We visited with my grandmother and family friends who had a 5-year-old, and everyone was really excited about the tour. If you have children who are too young to walk for an hour, you can carry the baby in a baby carrier, because the submarine and the lighthouse are, of course, not accessible with a stroller. The offer is very large (museum, submarine, a lighthouse, show, and outdoor amusement park), so you can easily spend a whole day. This site is worth your money which can\u2019t be said of many other sites across Canada.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1504252578272{padding-top: 50px !important;padding-bottom: 93px !important;}”][vc_column]
