Jonquiere Travel Guide
Map
Welcome to Jonquiere!
The City of Jonquiere is one third of the larger metropolis, Ville du Saguenay, along with Chicoutimi and La Baie. The town sprang out of the local industries of logging, pulp and paper. Named after the governor of New France at the time, Marquis de la Jonquil, the city now has a population of over 50,000 people. Located near Lac-Saint-Jean, those in town can go and enjoy the watery wonderland that is the large flat lake. There is also the Shipshaw Powerhouse, part of a large hydro-electric power grind that supplies the area with juice. There are weekday tour available. Club Saguenay-Arvida is a prime spot for golfers looking to hit the links while in Jonquiere. In the snowy month, the town plays host to Jonquiere en Neige, from January 25 to February 4. The 10-day winter festival celebrates with live displays from over 1000 sculptors, activities and entertainment.Tour Operators
