Chemin des Sœurs in Baie-Saint-Paul

Located behind Maison Mère Baie-Saint-Paul, a former convent with three steeples, there’s a path that crosses the fields and leads down to the beach. You’ll walk across a pretty carpet of leaves under the tall elms. Taking a slight detour in behind the Hôtel & Spa Le Germain Charlevoix, you’ll come face to face with the imposing animals on their farmstead and see the large beautiful sunflowers near the vegetable garden, with the colourful mountains as a backdrop.

There’s plenty of inspiration for beautiful fall portraits steeped in history. To heat up your walk, drop in at the Mousse Café, located at the trailhead, and grab your favourite hot brew.

Des Érables dam

You will marvel at beauty everywhere you look here in the Hautes-Gorges-de-la-Rivière-Malbaie National Park. From the bridge over the dam, you can take beautiful shots over the river. This is also the starting point for a magnificent hike along the Le Riverain trail.

In the summer, you can rent canoes or take a river excursion by shallow-draft riverboat.
