Lots of photo stops accompany this 3½-hour sightseeing tour that begins with a drive to the village of Chicoutimi. The Little White House, safely perched atop a concrete base, was one of the few surviving buildings during a devastating flood. Your next stop is the Pulp Mill of Chicoutimi, listed on the Canadian Register as a National Historic Site. Continuing on, you'll pass through the Historic National Site of Arvida. Built in 1927 for the workers of the Alcoa aluminum company, the town's unique and creative planning approach included 140 different models of single-family homes and became known as "the City Built in 135 Days." Next, is the Arvida Bridge, the world's first aluminum bridge. Continuing on to Jonquière you'll stop at the William Price Museum housed in the picturesque 100-year-old St. James the Apostle Anglican chapel. Then, you'll make your way back to the pier.
