This article is part of a series written by Joannie Fillion, a photographer and mother of three from Baie-Saint-Paul. By sharing precious moments spent with her beautiful family, we discover a local’s new passion for the Charlevoix region.

A few times a year, we all need a change of air. And what better way than to get it than taking in the salty sea breeze that blows over Isle-aux-Coudres. Last year gave us the opportunity to rediscover our magnificent local region, so it’s with great pleasure that I share one particular little family getaway. It was indeed such a reinvigorating breath of fresh air, I hope it inspires you to set foot on the island this summer and discover its breathtaking beauty for yourself.

To make the most of your time, if you’re the pre-planning type, you can find the current ferry schedule here. You’ll find crossings between the island and the mainland close to every 30 minutes during high season – and while the crossing takes only 20 minutes, it offers long lasting memories as you take in the sublime view of the Charlevoix coast. Let your mind drift away as you’re lulled by the waves and caressed by the gentle sea breeze.
