Sainte-Rose-du-Nord is a village on the north shore of the Saguenay River in Quebec, Canada.

Contents

The site was known, from 1801 to 1933, as La Descente-des-Femmes. Amerindian women awaited the return of the men from fishing, and would meet them by descending from the heights to the shore. [4] The patron saint of the parish, Rose of Lima, chosen for reasons unknown, was the first saint canonised in the New World. The specifier -du-Nord was added in 1933, when the post office was established. Residents are known as Roserains. [4]

The parish was first established in 1838. The economy is based primarily on tourism. [5] The village is a member of the Association of the Most Beautiful Villages of Quebec. There has been some agriculture and logging. Formerly, wood was floated from the wharf to paper mills. Today, many residents work in Chicoutimi 35 km up river to the west. [4]

The site is on the north shore of the Saguenay River. The site is in a cove with a wharf. The village is set back from the river, on hilly terrain. [4]

It is a parish municipality in the Le Fjord-du-Saguenay Regional County Municipality within the region of Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean.

Tadoussac is a village in Quebec, Canada, at the confluence of the Saguenay and Saint Lawrence rivers. The indigenous Innu call the place Totouskak meaning "bosom", probably in reference to the two round and sandy hills located on the west side of the village. According to other interpretations, it could also mean "place of lobsters", or "place where the ice is broken". Although located in Innu territory, the post was also frequented by the Mi'kmaq people in the second half of the 16th century, who called it Gtatosag. Alternate spellings of Tadoussac over the centuries included Tadousac, Tadoussak, and Thadoyzeau (1550). Tadoussac was first visited by Europeans in 1535 and was established in 1599 when the first trading post in Canada was formed there, in addition to a permanent settlement being placed in the same area that the Grand Hotel is located today.
