Lac Saint-Jean is not just about natural beauty; it's also a treasure trove of Quebecois culture and history. The charming towns and villages that dot the lakeshore are steeped in tradition, offering visitors a glimpse into Quebec's vibrant past. One of the most renowned attractions in the area is the historic village of Val-Jalbert, a perfectly preserved ghost town that allows you to step back in time to the early 20th century. The region is also famous for its culinary delights, particularly the delicious tourtière (meat pie) and pouding chômeur (poor man's pudding), providing an authentic taste of Quebec's gastronomic heritage.
