Nicolet

Nicolet was named in honor of its discoverer, Jean Nicolet de Belleborne. It was founded in 1672 and was originally called Saint-Jean-Baptiste de Nicolet. The city is easily accessible thanks to its privileged location in Centre-du-Québec. Nestled at the confluence of the Nicolet River and the mouth of Lake Saint-Pierre, Nicolet offers a variety of tourist attractions, activities, and services in a rural setting rich in history. Dynamic businesspeople and numerous community, cultural, and sports organizations actively contribute to the quality of life in our area.
