Discover the secrets of the city of aluminum

Arvida, a planned industrial city and jewel of Saguenay, Quebec and Canadian heritage, is renowned for its special character, its unique habitat, its exceptional architecture and its grandiose infrastructure. It receives the highest level of heritage recognition from the Government of Quebec, that of “declared heritage site”, and is also designated as a National Historic Site by the Government of Canada.

Once known throughout the world for its most powerful aluminum factory, the city of aluminum is worth rediscovering today. Meticulously planned from the beginning, the picturesque landscapes of Arvida recall a great epic, fantastic adventures, a social utopia and significant memories: the entire history of town planning and the 20th century is revealed there.
