Named by Jacques Cartier in 1535 for its abundant hazel trees (coudriers), this enchanting island has not lost its peaceful, rural character. It can be toured (26km/16mi) by car or bicycle. Remnants from a former era, beached schooners, dot the coast. The Musée les voitures d'eau (Schooner Museum) will give you an insight into the region's maritime history.
