We went for only three weeks and saw a great deal. But I'd stay at least a month next time and be open to lingering when we find a great spot. A whole summer would be great.

A lot of the small coastal towns like La Scie were "Outports" that could only be reached by boat and had no electric, phone, etc until the 1950s when some were connected by road (others were closed by the government and the people relocated.)
