How about a tour of the terraces in Charlevoix? From La Malbaie via the marvelous Route du Fleuve, then a detour to the soothing Isle-aux-Coudres to end in style with a stop in the heart of dynamic downtown Baie-Saint-Paul.

The proposed circuit, Entre fleuve et montagnes, is the best of two worlds: an extraordinary view of the St. Lawrence River that blends perfectly with the mountains of Charlevoix that make this region world famous.

Any opportunity to explore the country roads and routes in and around Charlevoix is worth it, either for a short look-about, a getaway of a few days or a longer stay.
