This lookout offers a breathtaking view of Saint-Pac\u00f4me and Rivi\u00e8re-Ouelle. From here, on a clear day, you can see some twenty bell towers and admire the C\u00f4te-du-Sud, Kamouraska and, on the north shore of the river, a landscape stretching from Cap Tourmente to Hautes-Bergeronnes.<\/p>\n
In 1849, the first cross, built in just over a week, was erected here at the request of the parish priest of Notre-Dame-de-Liesse, who hoped to put an end to an epidemic of cholera and typhus. One hundred years later, parishioners dreamed of an illuminated metal cross. The parish priest asked G\u00e9rard Morisset of the Mus\u00e9e de la province de Qu\u00e9bec for plans. Joseph Santerre and Fran\u00e7ois Chamberland designed the cross, which was inaugurated on the occasion of Saint-Pac\u00f4me’s centenary in July 1951.<\/p>\n
A unique and renowned landmark, a stop here will allow you to appreciate our region’s signature landscape.<\/p>\n
