Photo montage of Le Bic village in winter: our home town in Quebec Province, Canada

The historic village of Le Bic is on the south shore of the Saint Lawrence River west of the small city of Rimouski. With small offshore islands, sheltered bays, mountain ridges, and the nearby Parc National Du Bic, it's been a vacation destination for hundreds of years. The attached photos, taken in winter 2019, are scenes within the village as well as looking out towards the Saint Lawrence River.

A prominent feature of the village is Saint Cecile (Eglise Sainte-Cecile), a  historic Catholic church .
Many if not most villages and towns on the Gaspe Peninsula have a large Catholic Church, some still active, others not.


Large cross on hill, along with the Church, is a prominent landmark.


Located in Le Bic village, Chez Saint-Pierre is considered to be one of Quebec's finest restaurants


Another excellent restaurant in Le Bic village is Les Affames
