Saguenay Accommodation

Searching for hotels in Saguenay (Canada) or Saguenay accommodation?  Saguenay is about 120 miles, north of Quebec, Canada. This city is a rail hub, a commercial and industrial centre. It is closely affiliated with the extensive hydroelectric development on the Saguenay River that supplies power for a large aluminum-smelting plant in Jonquière district.

Saguenay, the 7th most significant city in Québec is also known for its impressive landscapes. It is therefore not surprising that tourism has become one of its leading industries. Tourers come from far and wide to admire the beauty of its fiord, which stretches just about 100 kilometres, making it one of the worlds longest.

There's much to see and do in this area that last year a new Saguenay mount up hop-off tourist bus started operation. It's an efficient and enlightening way to travel within the area if you don't have a vehicle or if you wish to take a break from driving. Aside from the aforesaid attractions, the "jovial crimson bus," as it's sometimes called, also stops at Chicoutimi's Pulperie Museum which was once the largest mechanical pulp manufacturers in Canada.

The museum is situated in one of five first granite buildings that remain on site. It tells the story of the factory two aspiring young founders -- the first French-Canadian entrepreneurs of stature in the Saguenay region -- and the workers, who toiled in moist and noisy conditions. Elsewhere in the museum, there's a fascinating exhibit (until April 2010). The Little White House is a museum about the Saguenay flood of 1996, which ruined the area. The video shows the extent of the destruction.

There is also a vast variety of choice hotel accommodations available in the city to suit just about every budget.
