The Pot à l’Eau-de-Vie (Pot island) is an archipelago located on the Saint-Laurent (St. Lawrence) and near l’île aux Lièvres. It takes about 20 minutes to reach it by boat, and visitors are given a guided boat tour around the island. This beautiful island is brimming with wildlife, from marine animals to bird species. Furthermore, this area features a gorgeous landscape perfect for watching the sunset.

It is famous for its red and white Lighthouse, which was built in 1857 but abandoned in 1964. It was eventually restored in 1989, turning the lighthouse into a historical building. Despite being considered a heritage monument, it has been renovated into an inn for guests wanting to stay on the island overnight. The staff is quite friendly, and the atmosphere is very welcoming to all. This is the perfect getaway for those who want to escape into nature and have a splendid time with their loved ones!
