From the charming village of Petite-Rivière-Saint-François all the way to the edge of Saguenay, this multifaceted gem of a place that was shaped by a meteorite transports visitors to a whole new world—one located a mere four-hour drive from Montreal.

Cité Mémoire Charlevoix

At dusk, the history of Charlevoix comes to life: projections inspired by the region's heritage are displayed on the cliffs of Pointe-au-Pic, along the river, and on historic buildings in La Malbaie. Cité Mémoire Charlevoix is a work by Michel Lemieux based on texts by Michel-Marc Bouchard.

The activity is free and bilingual.
