Near the northern tip of the island, in the village of St-François, this wooden observation tower provides views over the St Lawrence River, the north coast and the mountains that lay just beyond.

Photography Tips

The top of the tower is not conducive to a tripod, because a story board that is on the panorama river side of the tower obstructs the bottom of the photo. Be prepared for windy conditions.
