Au pays de l'oie blanche
A Mix of Inhabitants
Nicolet is without a doubt the most populated city of this “pays de l’oie blanche” sector… usually. Those 7,809 inhabitants are cutting a sorry figure against 600 000 snow geese that settle in Baie-du-Febvre, spring like fall, year after year. These birds increase the population up to 601 077 inhabitants during the migration. What about the 50 000 festival-goers who swarm into Sainte-Perpétue for the pig festival at the beginning of August? And let’s talk about all of those who go from country products producers to antique shops, enjoying a nice and sunny Sunday. Really, this small region knows how to welcome people with open arms and visitors are better be ready!
