At the heart of the immense agricultural plain of northern Lac-Saint-Jean, Normandin offers visitors a dazzling natural setting to discover via its ecotourism circuit, where local attractions and products illustrate the entrepreneurial character of its population. As the gateway to the Parc régional des Grandes-Rivières du lac Saint-Jean, the Chute à l'Ours tourist site stands out for its proximity to the Ashuapmushuan River and its rushing rapids. The Véloroute des Bleuets is also a great way to enjoy the countryside. Places to visit: Centenaire historic park, downtown, L'univers de Bilodeau Canada, Bergerie du Nord, location of the Maria Chapdelaine film and La Normandinoise cheese factory. In summer, the Grands Jardins site offers free access to its hiking trails and community gardens. In winter: snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, tobogganing and outdoor skating.
