Barrio Norte: Hapag-Lloyd Cruises - HANSEATIC inspiration
Among Quebec’s island communities, Cap-aux-Meules stands out for its role as the main service centre of the Magdalen Islands. It lies in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, on an archipelago of low sandstone islands linked by long dune-backed barriers. Its harbour is the terminus for the ferry connection with Souris, Prince Edward Island, and supports a community shaped by fishing and marine transport. The islands’ French-speaking population has strong Acadian roots, expressed in local foodways and coastal traditions. Around Cap-aux-Meules, exposed shores, lagoons and red cliffs give this part of Quebec a character far removed from the mainland.
