Directions:
From Highway 132, take Perron Blvd. to the Centre. Ample parking available. The lighthouse is located at the opposite end of the site from the reception building – a distance of about 1.5 miles. Visitors can stop at various heritage buildings by walking along a well-marked road or a path in the woods, or cover the distance by taking a horse-drawn cart that leaves the reception building every hour and ends its run at the tea house (a few hundred feet from the lighthouse), returning about 15 minutes later. (Thanks to Michel Forand.)
