Kamouraska is a village on the south shore of the Saint Lawrence River in the
Bas-Saint-Laurent region of Quebec, Canada. It is part of the Regional County
Municipality of Kamouraska. It has been named one of the top 20 nicest villages
in the province of Quebec.

The area was first settled in the late 17th century. There is a long tradition
of eel fishing here and an interpretive centre on eel fishing is located in the
village.

Anti-Catholic preacher Charles Chiniquy was born in Kamouraska in 1809.
Kamouraska was also the location of the 1839 murder of Louis-Pascal-Achille
Taché. The event inspired Anne Hébert's 1970 novel Kamouraska, which was made
into a film in 1973 by Claude Jutra.

Kamouraska was also the hometown of Marie-Louise Meilleur, who went on to
become the oldest person in the world in 1997-1998; she lived to 117 years of
age.

There are salt marshes along the river and there is an ecological reserve near
the village. The marsh provides habitat used by birds for nesting and during
migration. Cliffs along the river provide nesting habitat for Peregrine
Falcons. Seals can also be seen in the river here. At certain times of year,
the mosquitoes found in the marshes can be particularly aggressive.

The village can be reached via Autoroute 20. Route 132 travels through the
village.

The name "Kamouraska" comes from an Algonquin word meaning "where rushes grow
at the water's edge".
