La Grave - Site historique

Travel responsibly and sustainably

This unique heritage site, listed in 1983 by the ministère de la Culture et des Communications, with its traditional character and architecture, is a fascinating testimonial to the past. Extending over and around its pebble beach, La Grave was the site of the Islands' first settlement as well as the beginning of the archipelago's fishery. You will find a variety of activities here, all accessible on foot! Restaurants, cafés, shops, museums, marina, theatre, and different events. During summer, the Municipalité des Îles offers free cultural activities for the whole family. See the details below, the calendar of events on the muniles.ca site or the La Grave - site historique Facebook page.
