About Chicoutimi
Where to stay in Chicoutimi
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Chicoutimi is where Saguenay's beds are. The borough is the most populous of the city's arrondissements, so a stay anywhere in Saguenay usually means a room here rather than in one of the quieter ones. Du Séminaire Street is the address to know.
The Old Chicoutimi Trading Post, the Petite Maison Blanche and the Church of the Sacred Heart all stand inside the borough, and rooms out toward Belvédère Beauregard or Belvédère Jacques-Cartier trade the middle of it for the lookouts if that is what you came for.
About Chicoutimi
What are the main landmarks in Chicoutimi?
Nine entries make up the borough's register. Maison Gertrude-McLeod, the Petite Maison Blanche and a heritage-listed frontage on Du Séminaire Street are the domestic ones. Two of the nine are churches.
The Church of the Sacred Heart and the Church of Christ the King account for the ecclesiastical side, while Belvédère Beauregard and Belvédère Jacques-Cartier are the two named lookouts. The Old Chicoutimi Trading Post rounds the list out.
What is the history of Chicoutimi?
Chicoutimi dates from 1863. The Old Chicoutimi Trading Post carries a name older than the date itself, and Maison Gertrude-McLeod belongs to the decades after it, when the place was still a town answering to nobody else. Amalgamation ended that.
Chicoutimi became a borough of the city of Saguenay in Quebec, the most populous of them, and the Church of the Sacred Heart, the Church of Christ the King and the Petite Maison Blanche stayed on its register through the change.
Where is Chicoutimi?
Chicoutimi covers roughly 147 square kilometres. Belvédère Beauregard and Belvédère Jacques-Cartier are the two named lookouts on its heritage register.
