Lambton, a picture-perfect Cœur Villageois, overlooks majestic Lac Saint-François. This idyllic location makes it a popular vacation spot, giving the town a festive and laid-back ambiance. And to discover its storied history? Look no further than colourful local characters.
The Travel Information Centre is located in the presbytery, a beautiful heritage building, which also houses the Boutique du Presbytère, where you will find local products from the public market.
Another point of interest : the Panoramic Station (on the lot behind Lacroix Sports Inc), a spot to take pause and soak in the sight of magnificent Lac Saint-François.
Near the village, you will also find the South entrance of the parc national de Frontenac. Nautical activities, hiking, fishing, swimming... outdoor enthusiasts will be delighted.
Start at the Travel Information Office, where you’ll enjoy a warm welcome and receive all the information required to make your visit to the area memorable.
Watch the story of Lambton unfold via 12 interpretive panels erected in key spots throughout the Coeur VIllageois. To make the most of them, grab a pamphlet from the Travel Information Office and enjoy a self-guided tour.
The local bakery, Boulangerie Lambton, churns out fresh-baked bread and pastries daily, but you’ll also find an impressive selection of local food products including meats, terrines, maple treats and more. Can’t wait to dig in? Pick a picnic table at the nearby Parc du 150e and enjoy!
Located in the former presbytery, a visit to Lambton’s art gallery is worth it for the ancestral setting alone! Of course, you’re sure to find something you love among the fabulous works of local artists and artisans. Here you will find oil and acrylic paintings, pastels, watercolors, sculptures, photographs, drawings, weaving, knitting, and sewing work.
