The oldest perpetually inhabited European settlement in Quebec, Canada, is a village called as Tadoussac. It is also the oldest surviving French settlement in the Americas. In the 17th century, this place was a crucial French trading post. This village is based at the confluence of the River Saguenay with the River Saint Lawrence.

Due to this mixture, a rich marine environment is created and this become an ideal place for whales to prosper.
