Français : 50° 13' 00" N - 63° 35' 00" O, MRC Minganie, Îles de l'archipel de Mingan, formations calcaires, forêt boréale, golfe Saint-Laurent, à bord de la chaloupe de Patrice Lebrun, le mardi 20 juillet 1976,
The section of route 138 from Sept-Îles to Havre-Saint-Pierre opened in the spring of 1976. In July, we were among the first tourists to arrive by road, family, car and tent-trailer, the welcome was exceptional, a mixture of curiosity, hospitality, benevolence combined with a touch of incredulous distrust. We were amazed and won over by our contributor to this article!

Mingan Archipelago, located north of Anticosti Island, the islands that make up the Mingan Archipelago are aligned over 80 km, near the mainland, on either side of Havre-Saint-Pierre on the North Shore. They form the best-defined group of islands on the entire North Shore of the St. Lawrence, east of Sept-Îles. Now Mingan Archipelago National Park Reserve

Le site patrimonial de l'Archipel-de-Mingan est situé sur la Côte-Nord. Le paysage de ce site est exceptionnel puisqu'il regroupe un ensemble d'îles, d'îlots et de rochers érodés par la mer depuis plus de 300 millions d'années.
On y trouve une flore et une faune remarquablement variées, dont de nombreuses espèces d'oiseaux marins.
Cet endroit est aussi excessivement riche au point de vue historique. En effet, plusieurs peuples y auraient séjourné afin d'y faire de la chasse aux animaux marins et du commerce, entre autres, les Amérindiens, les Basques, les Normands et les Bretons y auraient transité. Le site patrimonial de l'Archipel-de-Mingan a été classé en tant que bien patrimonial par le ministère de la Culture et des Communications
