Did you know that Saint-Michel-des-Saints was formerly called Saint-Ignace-du-Lac which was flooded in 1931 for the construction of a hydroelectric dam, which led to the creation of Lac Taureau and the displacement of the town. The old hill, the highest point of the village is today an island where it is possible to observe several vestiges of this time.
