Description
On Route 132, at Saint-Georges-de-Malbaie, be sure to admire the rock with the face of a native.
Legend has it that white men from Europe on a tall ship have one day dropped anchor in a cove located not far from Plate Island facing Pointe-Saint-Pierre. As they went to the shore, to get supplies of fresh water and wild fruits, they saw a young Amerindian princess busy in the forest entertaining young children. The men from elsewhere captured her and brought her to their distant country.
This sad face, whose gaze is riveted to the cliff, is that of her lover, who tirelessly waits for her return, resolved in her grief to turn her back to the sea as long as she does not bring back her beloved.
