Fish and plant fossils that tell the story of life 378 million years ago... this is what the Quebecois gem that is Miguasha National Park allows you to discover.
Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this park amazes both young and old, both for the quality of its fossil conservation and for their importance in understanding a page of evolution.
The fish and plant fossils of Miguasha are distinguished by their exceptional quality of conservation.
The guided tour of this unique site in the world begins with a tour of the permanent exhibition of the Natural History Museum (which has about 13,500 specimens), continues at the educational laboratory, and ends on the beach to see the fossiliferous formation up close.
The cliff of Miguasha is like a great book of history and treasures, as the fish and plant fossils it contains make it possible to understand a page of the evolution of life on Earth.

Fossil Park
(Translated by Google) Great family time, very interesting
worth a detour!
(Translated by Google) Much more interesting visit than expected (instead of staying for 1.5 hours as indicated, we spent 4 hours there). I had no idea it was such an important place given the enormous discovery they made there. The guide Vincent really shares his passion with us! The "hero lab" is great for children. To avoid any disappointment on site, plan a picnic according to the schedule.
