Joutel is a ghost town. It was established in 1965 following the opening of copper, gold and zinc mines. When the mineral reserves ran out after about thirty years, the town was dismantled in 1998. In 2018, we can still see some streets and sidewalks, the marina which is used by fishermen during the summer and a radio transmitter. an old television station. A small park with some information about the city can be found on the edge of Highway 109, twelve kilometers east of Joutel. It's fascinating to visit these places if one is interested in the history of Quebec, but it's sad that there is no better maintenance of the places or even a small museum honoring this ghost town.
