Overview of the region

The Charlevoix region is not only a choice travel and gourmet dining destination in Québec, but also a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve, a designation it received in 1989. Charlevoix is divided into six Secteurs, each with its own identity and features, and is home to an astonishing array of plant and wildlife. Taiga, tundra, three parks, a river estuary, a fjord, a marine conservation area, caribou, and whales can all be found within its borders. The region's grandeur is matched only by the hospitality of local residents, and by the charming inns, fine dining establishments, and vibrant arts scene that combine to dazzle and delight visitors.
