Baie-du-Fèbvre, Québec, Canada - LEglise de la Baie, 1840 Histoire de la Baie-Saint-Antoine, dite Baie-du-Febvre, 1683-1911 Author: Bellemare, Joseph-Elzéar, 1849-1924; Sulte, Benj

On peut localiser Baie-du-Febvre à l’angle de la route 132 et de l’extrémité nord de la route 255. Mais il serait tout aussi juste de dire que cette municipalité est située sur l’autoroute des oies blanches lors de leur migration printanière. Baie-du-Febvre compte parmi les meilleurs sites ornithologiques du Québec. Le retour annuel des observateurs d’oiseaux le démontre éloquemment.

Baie-du-Febvre, c’est aussi des terres nourricières qui ont bien fait vivre ceux qui les cultivent depuis plus de 300 ans.

Baie-du-Febvre, c’est également 43 commerces, industries et établissements voués à divers services et au tourisme.

Baie-du-Febvre, plus que tout cela, c’est au milieu d’une nature généreuse où il fait bon vivre.
