The urban heart of Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Rouyn-Noranda proudly bears the title of Sensational City! Here, the arts explode, like the fireworks of Osisko en lumière, the films of the Festival du cinéma international (international film festival), the musicians of the Festival des guitares du monde (world guitar festival) and take you through a whirl of events all year round. Its heritage, built by the proud immigrants who came to work in the mines, makes it today a bustling business center and a cultural magnet. Barely a few minutes from downtown, breath-taking landscapes beckon us to take a closer look. These enchanting panoramas leave the everlasting impression of having tasted the richness of our territory. The tranquil solitude of nature and the colourful festivities of Rouyn-Noranda are only equalled by the friendliness of its population. Free parking permits are offered to visitors from outside Rouyn-Noranda at the Tourist Information Office.
