Experience the St. Lawrence

Charlevoix is a force of nature in every sense. Located about an hour from Quebec City, it owes its breathtaking landscapes to a meteorite that shaped the whole region over 400 million years ago. Its impact left behind a unique energy and a sense of well-being that floods the senses.

Complementing with the magnificent mountain landscapes that line its coast, the omni-present power and sheer beauty of the St. Lawrence River keeps that special ambience that Charlevoix is known for flowing. Whether you wish to dive into a slew of nautical activities or behold the exceptional views on board the Train de Charlevoix, there are many ways to experience its wonder. Its magnetic attraction is something you really have to feel to believe.

Travel the St. Lawrence Route

The whole 78 kilometers along the St. Lawrence Route, following the signs labeled Route de Fleuve, feels like a winding, never ending road as you embark on one of the most scenic routes in North America. Starting in the charming town of Baie-Saint-Paul, the adventure ebbs and flows through picturesque villages and the natural wonders of the Crater and Tides sector. From Saint-Joseph-de-la-Rive, a toll-free ferry carries your adventurous side on a short trip to the long lasting memories you will discover on Isle-aux-Coudres. The river route winds to a beautiful end in La Malbaie, where your journey into the rich history of Charlevoix takes another intriguing turn.
