Fodor's Expert Review Vieux-Poste de Sept-Îles

Sept-Iles Family

Native nomadic Innus people spent summers at this spot, and it’s here that they encountered the area’s first French traders around 1673. See evidence of both cultures and how they interacted. Animal-skin tents stand in the re-created Innu camp. The trading post reproduction is stocked with the goods, even the aromas, that would have filled a 19th-century station. Guides bring the setting to life with details and stories about the post’s history.
