Site historique de Pointe-à-la-Renommée

Located in an amazing vista, this historic site was a strategic communications centre during the two World Wars. It was here, in 1904, that Marconi installed North America's first maritime radio station.

Visit the most travelled lighthouse (one hundred years old) in the world; it returned to its initial site in 1997 after a 20-year exile in the Port of Québec. Thanks to exhibits, you can learn about Mr. Marconi, the lives of wireless telegraphy operators and lighthouse keepers and their families. Through the Chemin des pionniers, hiking trails take you into the mountains, by the sea or all the way to the fishing harbour at L'Anse-à-Valleau.
