The seven stickers representing the Charlevoix region are available in its tourist information centres in Baie-Saint-Paul, Isle-aux-Coudres, La Malbaie, and Saint-Siméon. To obtain the free stickers, you’ll be asked for proof of your stay in the sector that’s depicted on that oh-so-coveted sticker. The proof might be a photo of you taken at one of the sector’s iconic sites the day before, or a bill for a purchase you made in one of its businesses.
The seven sector stickers you’ll need to collect are: Petite-Rivière-Saint-François, Baie-Saint-Paul, Les Montagnes, Cratère et marées, l’Isle-aux-Coudres, La Malbaie and Saint-Siméon/Baie-Sainte-Catherine.

The artist who created the magnificent images on the Charlevoix stickers is Carol-Anne Pedneault, an illustrator and graphic designer madly in love with Isle-aux-Coudres, the mythic place where her family has lived for nine generations.
Cofounder with her textile designer cousin Pascale Perron of the Fabrique de l’Isle, a friendly café-gallery that hosts a craft market and other cultural events under its apple trees, Carol-Anne Pedneault wants more than anything to celebrate the beauty of her home, and the strength and solace it gives her, though her constantly renewing projects.
Driven by the creativity of the ever-changing river in her backyard and inspired by the gentle colours and contrasting textures of the mountain views, the winter’s ice, the rocks, and the tides, Pedneault creates her digital works from photos of twigs, flowers, and reflections on the water over which she then digitally draws, for a fantastic play of transparency and overlay.
