Looks like a kayaker's dream. I have always wondered what northern Quebec looks like. I used to just stare at the map and get curious about all that space....and silence. Thanks so much for making this video.! Really smooth production.
i went to a town called Radisson a few years ago to work on a local hotel. the final leg of the trip saw us enter a stretch of the James bay road that was 600km with absolutely nothing along the way besides one rest stop. we had check in at a gate before we started.. just incase we never made it out the other end someone would know to look for us. i was amazed at how small and sparse the trees are (they have such a short growing season) we could see for miles around. the Ontario side of James bay seems to be a much thicker forest. the entire trip took us 22hrs took drive from Cobourg Ont. pretty much the same time it would take us to drive to Florida. Another thing about Radisson was that one our work crew got injured and required stiches. it happened around 8pm on a weekend and we thought he was going to be in trouble.. but nope. there was a doctor 5 houses away and he was able to walk in and was back on the job in about 30mins, way better than the service you get in any city.
Thank you for this! I am American but have lived in Montreal many years. I watch a lot of UA-camrs who live in Northern Sweden, Northern Norway, Svalbard, etc., but it has crossed my mind that right here in Quebec I think we have the same natural beauty and very similar landscapes? But so few people have explored it! You have gotten my imagination going, I hope to see these places someday!
Ahah!! Thank you for your comment, I'm glad you enjoyed. You are right, the north of Quebec is very unexplored. Radison was not even so high. There is many northen village but there is no road to reach it.
Love from Mississauga, Ontario! We watched your video last evening on our TV's YT feature where the video looked mega-super-awesome! We were in awe. Our family of 6 (3 children, well actually 4 with our dog) love Quebec's Parc Canada and SEPAQ managed national parks. We have been to 5 of those in the Laurentian Mountain range: Parc National du Mont Tremblant, Parc national du Fjord-du-Saguenay, Parc national des Hautes-Gorges-de-la-Rivière-Malbaie, Parc national de la Mauricie, and Parc marin du Saguenay-Saint-Laurent. Your voyage was jaw dropping. We wanted to follow in your footsteps but given our family constraints we will limit ourselves to the managed parks only. Please make more videos on the 'gorgeous Quebec'
Radisson the adventure! Simple.. the call is simple. Finding the silence. Very nice video.. I will hit the road to Radisson, quebec... the lights.. lol
il n'y a pas beaucoup de documentaire sur le Nord du Quebec. Quand je regarde sur google Earth la quantité de lacs au Quebec j'ai toujours été curieux de voir à quoi ca ressemble à vue d'oiseau. Merci pour ces très belles images. C'est vraiment magnifique et très boisé. Un voyage a absolument faire!
Il y a cette video d'un gars de terre neuve qui a parcouru des lacs dans le nord du quebec, ça donne une perspective : ua-cam.com/video/ys-xDACRGlE/v-deo.html
God this was too relatable in the beginning. Currently trying to get as north as possible coming from Chicago, USA and think we’re gonna have to drive most of the way until a bush plane ride is reasonable LOL
Thank you for this excellent video. I live in Maine and have been interested in seeing what north Quebec looks like and it is beautiful! I have enjoyed a few visits to Quebec City and love it up there. I really hope to explore more of Quebec. Merci beaucoup Monsieur.
It is beautiful. I've been in Quebec in 2006, the southern part and I already was amazed by the beautiful nature. I'd love to go there but that'll probably never happen...
Bravo! J’ai adoré. Je prévois faire l’expédition 51 ce printemps mais tu as choisi l’automne pour Radission et j’avoue que tu viens de me le faire rajouter pour cet automne.
Love this video I always have a love for Quebec I'm from Maine but I've always wanted to go see the woodland caribou and catch some big Brook trout or artic char Nunavut would be a great trip but pricey best wishes from Maine USA
Bonjour, I have been to beautiful Quebec City, no one ever talks about Northern Quebec, someday I hope to visit Northern Quebec. Looks like untouched wilderness. Any issues with bears in Quebec?
Oh it's really sublime, thank you my friend. To view your superb creation I used my iMac 27, this in order to get as close as possible to the quality of the material you use for your edits, the result is at the level of the best reports offered by professionals specializing in this kind of content, well done and thank you again for sharing with us the unsuspected beauty of these places in the world. See you later .
I love the region my self (I am from Ontario). Great video, great story telling.. I love the distance comparison to European travel. Great Canadian content 🇨🇦!
Thanks. The road was very hard to travel with my Jetta especially with the bigs gravel they just added on it. I would have been easier with a pick-up truck or a SUV. I was worried that something broke on my car at the very end. At this distance the towing would probably have been more expensive than the value of my car. 😅
Thanks. Well, it didn't cost a lot. Basically it only cost me Diesel in my car. I slept in it, so there is no hotel fee, and I don't count food as expense as I would eat at home anyway. I don't remember by heart but I would say it cost me under $300CAD to make the adventure.
Beautifully filmed, thank you! I'm debating taking a road trip from US to northern Quebec, in these areas, is english well spoken or should we learn some french? forgive my ignorance.
Hi Matt. That is a very good road trip you will do. For sure in some place it may be a bit more difficult but most french Canadian are very friendly and I'm sure they will do everything they can to help you event with the language barrier. You are welcome here my friend and have a great road trip! 🙂
You’re wrong. Chisasibi is 98 km up north than Radisson. You can drive up there. There’s also an island than can take you to an island by car. So.. no, radisson isn’t the far up you can go by vehicle.
Chisasibi is around 98km away from Radisson yes... But not up north, it's to the west. They are about on the same degree of parallel. Technically Long Point is the Northern most point you can reach by road, but again it's about the same hight.
Thanks. Well. Maybe not a Nordic country as the European aliance of Nordic country... But a nordic country as it pretty much in the north. We got real winter at the south and it stretch up to the Nordic Ocean in the Artic Circle.
how is it more expensive to fly from montreal to northern quebec?? a flight from montreal to japan is almost $3,000 cheaper at $1,413 and its waaay farther
The things is that there is not much plane that fly to northen quebec compare to Japan. And those plane must be hard to fill. So you pay for rarety and those unsold seats.
Tu l'as sans doute manqué mais dès le début j'ai mis un lien pourtant difficile à manquer vers la version francophone... ua-cam.com/video/N9yT5KzVKQs/v-deo.html
Awesome. "The calm, the solitude, the tranquility and the quiet." Life is so over stimulated nowadays. Northern Quebec looks almost heavenly.
Looks like a kayaker's dream. I have always wondered what northern Quebec looks like. I used to just stare at the map and get curious about all that space....and silence. Thanks so much for making this video.! Really smooth production.
Ahah thanks! Yes definitively one of the best place on earth to bring a Kayak. You should give it a try. 🙂
I moved in Abitibi 10 years ago and everytime I go back to mtl it reminds me how depressing my life was when i lived there!
yup, seeing all this misery is pretty painful
Absolutely breathtaking work my friend!
Ahah! Thank you so much. I'm really proud of that one. 🙂
That's an impressive drive up north. Thank you for sharing. I learned a lot about Northern Quebec. I had no idea it was so spectacular.

Quebec is better...more resources
Anyone's dream. Drive as far north as you can. Beautiful
Just do it! 😉

Ahah! Thank you for your comment! I'm glad you enjoyed! 🙂
Radisson the adventure! Simple.. the call is simple.
Finding the silence. Very nice video.. I will hit the road to Radisson, quebec... the lights.. lol
Ahah!! Enjoy the adventure!
merci
vraiment beau, je compte faire le voyage un jour
Ahah!! Merci. Je te le souhaite c'était vraiment tout un expérience.
I grew up in Abitibi, truly one of the greatest jewels of Québec … As long as you don’t go in June. The “black flies season”.
il n'y a pas beaucoup de documentaire sur le Nord du Quebec. Quand je regarde sur google Earth la quantité de lacs au Quebec j'ai toujours été curieux de voir à quoi ca ressemble à vue d'oiseau.

I really hope I too can one day travel to these northern parts of Canada.
Excellent narration and documentary Pascal 🤠
Ahah!! Thanks!

Ahah merci beaucoup! I'm glad you enjoyed! Happy exploration! 😉
Wow this was an amazing video! I’m American and hoping to explore Canada, and am an avid nature lover. You did a wonderful job with your footage!
Ahah!! Thank you so much Ashley! 🙂
Go to the gaspe bud.
It is beautiful. I've been in Quebec in 2006, the southern part and I already was amazed by the beautiful nature. I'd love to go there but that'll probably never happen...

Wow is all I have to say. Thanks for posting.
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoy and thank you for your comment! :)

Ahah thanks I'm glad you enjoyed! Yes Nunavut is a costly place as there is absolutely no road over there.
C'est très beau les images de la Baie d'Hudson et tout le reste. Félicitations !
Ahah!! Merci beaucoup Paul! 🙂
It's a shame the Canadian sheild doesn't allow much access to the area but it's it's beautiful part of the world with limited human contact
Very good video and very interesting.
Ahah!! Thank you very much! 😉
Beautiful visuals and very well narrated!
Ahah!! Thank you! 🙂
Awesome video friend.safe travels to u
Thank you! :)

Ahah. Deer Coyote, I'm glad you also watched the english version of that video. Cheers from Canada and see you soon. 😉
Hooray for English! Amazing images. Looking forward to the rest.
Ahah!! I'm glad you enjoyed the english version Paul.. All of my next documentary video will be also available in english. Cheers.
I love the region my self (I am from Ontario). Great video, great story telling.. I love the distance comparison to European travel. Great Canadian content 🇨🇦!
Ahah!! Thank you so much Leo! I'm glad you enjoyed! 😉
I liked the video but I'm just wondering why you didn't drive to the Caniapiscau reservoir at the end of the Trans Taiga Road
Thanks. The road was very hard to travel with my Jetta especially with the bigs gravel they just added on it. I would have been easier with a pick-up truck or a SUV. I was worried that something broke on my car at the very end. At this distance the towing would probably have been more expensive than the value of my car. 😅
Hi very nice video I was wondering around how much did it cost you for this adventure

They are about on the same degree of parallel.
Technically Long Point is the Northern most point you can reach by road, but again it's about the same hight.
2,825 km2 of flooded traditional hunting and harvesting lands of the Crees.
😍
@0:12 - Canada is a Nordic country!? 🤔Amazing video though!
Thanks. Well. Maybe not a Nordic country as the European aliance of Nordic country...
But a nordic country as it pretty much in the north.
We got real winter at the south and it stretch up to the Nordic Ocean in the Artic Circle.
