Cacouna, Québec, Canada (Saint-Georges-de-Cacouna)
1883 - Cacouna

Cacouna, at six miles from Rivière du Loup, is so well known as a first class watering - place that it would be useless to attempt giving a long description of it. The view on the St. Lawrence is assuredly fine; but that is the only mention that we can give of the place as far as picturesque is concerned. The long array of cottages which form the village are built on a level field having no mountains beyond to form a good landscape. The sea baths are just as good as those of Murray Bay, Kamouraska and Rivière du Loup. There is a mail daily and a telegraph office in the St. Lawrence Hall. Everything, especially carriage hiring, is comparatively dear.

Cacouna can be characterized in a few words by
saying that it is the most fashionable summer resort, where young gentlemen and ladies fond of making acquaintances and finding a rich wife or husband should not omit to go, if they prefer those things to the comfort enjoyed at Murray Bay, Tadoussac, Rivière du Loup and Kamouraska.
