Charlevoix

The region

River, mountain, village, table

Charlevoix is a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve — a land where the Laurentians tumble into the St. Lawrence, creating a landscape of extraordinary variety. Painted villages cling to hillsides, waterfalls thread through boreal forests, and winding coastal roads open to views that stop the breath entirely.

It is also, quietly, one of Québec's finest food regions. Artisan cheesemakers, small cideries, farm-to-table restaurants and the Économusée network turn every detour into a discovery of taste and place.
