2993, chemin de la Montagne, Bassin 418-937-7820 ― vignolap@hotmail.com Open: June 16 to September 20.

The typical marine activity on les Îles is fishing, with its language, boats, instruments and rigging. It’s the beautiful sea, sometimes a little rebellious with its mysteries. It’s the wind in every direction. As a retired fisherman since 2012, Jean-Guy showcases marine life in his fisherman's shed. Three performances per day (in French only). Le Site d'Autrefois 5 3106, chemin de la Montagne, Bassin 418-937-5733 ― site.autrefois@derytele.com Open: June 15 to September 30.

He reveals the history as well as the cultural and islander heritage related to both the sea and agriculture. You will be amazed by the miniature village. Plus, there is a full-size fisherman's shed, with all its surrounding buildings. Animations every hour during the day.
