Sacré-Coeur, a village where nature and culture harmonize
Nestled on the Haute-Côte-Nord, the municipality of Sacré-Coeur is a true gem. Bordered by the Saguenay Fjord and surrounded by vast boreal forests, it offers an exceptional living environment where adventure and relaxation are naturally combined. Over the years, Sacré-Coeur has forged a strong identity, driven by its tourist attractions, its community dynamism and its commitment to sustainable development.
The inauguration of the Green Promenade in October 2025 marked a key level in this evolution. This new development redefines the heart of the village and embodies the collective desire to build a future that is sustainable, inclusive and unifying.
The coves of Sacré-Coeur between effervescence and tranquility
Sacré-Coeur is distinguished by the richness of its landscapes and the diversity of its natural attractions. Two emblematic sites are the perfect expression of this: L'Anse-de-Roche and L'Anse-Creuse.
Opening onto the majestic Saguenay Fjord, L'Anse-de-Roche is a true natural theatre. An ideal starting point for boat trips or sea kayaking trips, it seduces with its grandiose panoramas. At dusk, the sunsets set the fjord ablaze with golden and pink hues, offering unforgettable moments. In the summer, the Musical Currents animate Saturday evenings, bringing together citizens and visitors in a festive and friendly atmosphere. L'Anse-de-Roche thus embodies the dynamism and cultural vitality of Sacré-Coeur.
Miles away, Anse-Creuse is a haven of peace, nestled in a preserved environment, it charms with its tranquility and intimate landscapes. Less crowded than its neighbour, it invites contemplation and relaxation. Hikers, photographers and nature lovers find it a place of inspiration, while wildlife enthusiasts can observe birds and mammals in their natural habitat. L'Anse-Creuse completes the experience by offering a space of rejuvenation, imbued with serenity, but always linked to the spirit of the fjord.
An outdoor and cultural destination
Sacré-Coeur seduces outdoor enthusiasts with its trails leading to spectacular viewpoints, including Baie Sainte-Marguerite, renowned for the observation of belugas in their natural environment. Local outfitters enrich this offer by offering authentic hunting, fishing and discovery experiences in the boreal forest.
The vitality of the village is also expressed through its abundant cultural life. Throughout the year, a varied program enlivens the community, the Festival du Fjord, the Gymkhana de Sacré-Cœur, the Courants musicaux, as well as numerous concerts and shows presented at the Salle Le Cœur du Fjord, the municipal library and now the Promenade verte. These events strengthen the sense of belonging and nourish the social fabric, making each meeting a moment of sharing and celebration.
The Green Promenade, a renewed village heart
Carefully landscaped, the Promenade verte offers safe play modules for children, contemporary street furniture, solar street lamps and kiosks dedicated to local producers. Its central square, lively and welcoming, becomes the scene of many events and gatherings. A true intergenerational place, it promotes exchanges between families, young people and seniors in a warm atmosphere.
The festive inauguration, punctuated by music, gourmet discoveries and smiles, confirmed the enthusiasm of the population for this new space in the heart of the village.
An authentic and memorable experience
More than just a village, Sacré-Coeur is a destination where nature, culture and innovation intertwine harmoniously. Between fjord and forest, between festivals and moments of tranquillity, each visit offers an authentic experience, rich in discoveries, emotions and beauty. Renewed Sacré-Coeur is the very essence of the link between a territory and those who bring it to life.
