Chicoutimi
A walkable waterfront borough at the confluence of the Saguenay and Chicoutimi rivers, Chicoutimi is the commercial and cultural heart of Quebec's Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean region. Its downtown, known as the Croissant culturel, concentrates around 150 cultural attractions — galleries, museums, performance venues, and cafés — within easy walking distance of the water. The Pulperie de Chicoutimi, a national historic site of Canada since 1983, anchors the historic centre near the port area.
