Pointe-aux-Outardes (French pronunciation: [pwɛ̃t oz‿utaʁd]) is a village municipality in Quebec, Canada, on the southern point of the Manicouagan Peninsula between the mouths of the Outardes and Manicouagan Rivers.
The place is named after a piece of land that juts out into the Saint Lawrence River and partially encloses the Outardes Bay: Pointe aux Outardes.
It literally means "Point of Bustards", but Outarde can also be translated as "Canada goose".
[4] In fact, Canada geese and snow geese use the nearby Manicouagan River as a corridor in their annual migration and stopover at the point.
The Innu called it Piletipistu Neshkâu, meaning "point of the Partridge River".
