Tabaquen

The Long Way Home reference: Village that Gamache, Jean-Guy, Clara, Myrna travel to.

Real world location: Gamache calls Tabaquen the sister village to Agneau-de-Dieu. Tabaquen is better known as La Tabatière. The fishing village is only accessible by boat or plane and is located in Quebec's Basse-Côte-Nord (Lower North Shore).

Stretching several kilometres along the coast, the modern community of La Tabatière is made up of three hamlets: Vieux-Poste, Baie-Rouge and La Tabatière. The hamlet of La Tabatière was known as the best seal fishing station on the Lower North Shore since the 18th century. French concessionaires who had obtained fishing and property rights ran a seal fishing industry there. They also traded eiderdown feathers collected from duck nests. The name Tabatière comes from the Indigenous word tabaquen, which means sorcerer. The Innu who traded with the settlers of La Tabatière usually consulted a sorcerer-seer before leaving on a hunting expedition.
