Description

For the visitors arriving on the Iles de la Madeleine, the effect is an immediate and total change in scenery. As far as the eye can see, the island and the dunes seem to blend, break apart, and then stretch out from view, as though deposited there by the whims of the sea.The archipelago of Iles de la Madeleine is located in the middle of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, 215 km from the Gaspé peninsula, 105 km from Prince Edward Island and 95 km from Cape Breton Island. The Island are in the shape of a half moon stretching across a distance of 65 km.
