La Doré, Quebec

La Doré (French pronunciation: [la dɔʁe]; known as Notre-Dame-de-la-Doré before 1983) is a parish municipality in Quebec, Canada, in the regional county municipality of Le Domaine-du-Roy and the administrative region of Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean.

The village got its real start in 1889 when settlers from Saint-Méthode, Saint-Félicien, Saint-Prime, and Lambton settled there and founded the Colony of Rivière-au-Doré.

In 1891, it was for a large part destroyed by fire, but was rebuilt due to the courage and determination of the pioneers.

The Moulin des Pionniers, from circa 1904, is a major tourist attraction and historic site for the village and region.
