Roberval is a visitor-friendly town located directly on the edge of Lac St-Jean and is acknowledged as a great base for tourists and lovers of outdoor pursuits. The town is famous world-wide for its annual international swimming competition 'Traversée Internationale du

Lac St-Jean'. For the past 50 years, the world’s best long-distance swimmers have been facing the waves of our sometimes calm and sometimes tumultuous lake which is also known natively as 'Piékouagami' (the Innu name for 'flat lake'). Local people and visitors alike celebrate in a friendly and convivial way during the week-long festivities.
