Timeline
09:00
Arrive at the Pabos Archaeological Site as it opens. Walk the marked trail past the remains of the chapel, the old mill, and fishing shacks. The bilingual plaques explain the history of the seigneurie from the 1700s. Go early to enjoy the site in quiet.
10:00
Head to La Grave for lunch. It is an 8-minute walk from the site. Relax on the breezy terrace overlooking Pabos Bank beach. Order fish chowder or other seafood specialties. The view of the water makes the meal feel like a reward after the history walk.
11:00
End your visit at Plage Pabos Mills. It is just a short walk from La Grave. Sit by the water, watch the boats, and let the afternoon calm settle in before you head home.
