Welcome to Arichat on beautiful
Isle Madame.

Located on the southern most tip of Cape Breton Island, Isle Madame is a cluster of islands. It offers some of the most captivating scenery along the Fleur-de-Lis trail (see maps) which loops around the main island.

The village of Arichat is one of the oldest communities in Nova Scotia, dating back to the 1700's when tall ships ruled the seas. It was known as the most important shiretown of Richmond County.
As you visit the islands you will constantly change vistas of the rocky coastline, inlets, coves and islands of Arichat harbour along the very edge of the shores. 
(see photo galleries)
Besides beautiful scenery, we have beautiful beaches, hiking trails, parks and great place for sailing, canoeing and kayaking.
